Form & Verdict
Brother to the same owner's 6f/7f winner Razeyna (RPR 91); solid in the market at 9-2 at Doncaster (7f, good) 23 days ago and he raced prominently before showing a good attitude to come out on top; sets a useful standard under a penalty and he's a big player again in his bid to make it 2-2.

Three runs over 7f last summer, winning two novices (Doncaster and Wolverhampton) before reportedly unsuited by soft ground on handicap debut; 305-day absence before respectable seventh of 12 at Kempton (1m, AW; 13-2) three weeks ago; needs to improve his turf form and these are early days.
