38,000gns yearling; seventh foal; brother to 6f AW winner True Icon (RPR 70), closely related to two winners, half-brother to three winners including Jungle Cove (7f-1m2f Flat, 101; 2m hurdle) and Main Desire (5f including Listed; 101); dam 6f 2yo winner (95); likely type on paper and he's starting out at a modest level; betting to provide clues.
