Brother to the same connections' dual Group 1 winner Hello Youmzain (RPR 121) and showed ability in his own right when a clear second of six on debut over C&D (good; 9-2) last month; the winner was beaten a neck in the Coventry on Tuesday so he sets a very good standard.

3yo who has made no impact on good to firm going on his last three starts but his two encounters with slow ground have produced positive results, specifically a Listed third at York (6f, soft) last October and a handicap win at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) this July; blinkers go on; interesting.

Bagged a notable pay cheque in a sales race at Naas (6f, soft; first win under similar conditions) but now has to bounce back from a modest run at Newmarket when conditions were easier than the official good to firm (ground was changed to good after heavy rain); has a bit to find even on his Irish form.
