Third foal; closely related to 1m winner Almaqaam (including Listed; RPR 116), half-brother to Listed-placed 7f/8.6f winner Saleymm (including AW; 112); dam 1m2f (Listed) and 1m4f winner (110); entered in Irish 2,000 Guineas and makes considerable appeal on paper.

Progressive colt whose record is 4-8 and who has never finished out of the first three; beaten over 3l by similar type Gethin at Newbury early last season but holds a fighting chance in the rematch, having roughly caught up with that rival in terms of ratings; creditable third to sibling Almaqam in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh (first Group 1 attempt) most recently; particularly interesting returned to Sandown, being 2-2 over C&D, namely wins in a useful handicap last August (soft) and this year's Gordon Richards Stakes (good).

Rose through the ranks last season, winning back-to-back handicaps at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) and Sandown (1m2f, soft); took the next step forward when landing Group 3 honours at Sandown (1m2f, good) on seasonal return (a race commonly won by high-class performers); enters the big league now but further improvement is by no means ruled out for a four-year-old having just his eighth start.
