Saxon Warrior colt; first foal; unraced dam closely related to 1m4f AW winner Farzad, half-sister to winners Feyzabad (Listed-placed 1m4f) and Fariman (1m 2yo), out of Group-placed 1m4f winning half-sister to Group 1 winners Alpine Rose (1m2f) and Fragrant Mix (1m4f); enough to like on pedigree and all the more interesting if backed.

Hasn't won since his debut in February last year when trained by Karl Burke; went close when beaten a nose at Chelmsford (1m, AW) in March and if he can reproduce that effort on turf then he would be a player.

Reappeared over C&D (good) in May in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) having been gelded, and he won that big-field handicap from Thunder Run and Altareq to make it 3-6; fine effort in clear second in the Duke Of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm), where outstayed, and he's due to be 6lb higher in future handicaps; leading claims back down in trip.

Built upon his previous promise (including on turf) to win in good style in a small field at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last October on his second handicap start; gelded since and this lightly raced 4yo could have lots more to offer this season for his top stable; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

In the frame in seven of his nine starts, the latest when third of ten finishers in a Wolverhampton maiden (1m4f, Tapeta) in December (has undergone wind surgery since); not sure dropping in trip will help, but he still has the best form of those with experience.

Improved form when runner-up on handicap debut at Musselburgh (1m4f, good) in April and easily made all back there (2m, good) a fortnight ago; he enjoyed the run of the race last time but a 6lb rise isn't harsh in view of this unexposed 7yo's dominance; has to be respected.

Struggled in bumpers/maiden and novice races on his first five starts but the switch to middle-distance handicaps sparked a good jolt of improvement three weeks ago, finding only the red-hot favourite too strong over 1m4f here; 2m should be within range and he has a top amateur booked; obvious chance of going one better.
