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.

Still to add to his debut success (for Karl Burke) but he went desperately close at Chelmsford last month, running on well at the finish; handicap mark left unchanged and he needs serious consideration.

Started handicap life for Karl Burke last summer on an unrealistic mark and struggled prior to being picked up for just 2,000gns in the autumn; finding his level now for his current yard and it wouldn't shock were he to pop up here, dropped another 3lb.

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.

Consistent in four starts since his debut in February, the win coming in a 1m2f novice here in March; probably unsuited by the lack of pace when third of nine at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, but despite the small field there is a good chance this may be run at a better tempo; respected.

Beat the St Leger runner-up in a Newcastle 1m2f novice in March and returned from a lengthy break to push an unexposed Godolphin horse close at Newmarket (1m2f, good), which was probably a fine run given the penalty he carried; could easily be on a lucrative mark and this trip should benefit according to his pedigree.

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.

Highly tried on occasion by Ben Brookhouse and regressed sharply last year prior to being sold for £5,000 in October; big prices and well held in four AW runs for this yard, which also saddles Havana Club; hard to latch on to unless there's been market support behind him.

T: Jim Goldie

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.
