February foal; £72,000 yearling; seventh foal; brother to 5f 2yo winner Blue Moon Baby (RPR 56), half-brother to winners Dazzling Des (5f-6f including 2yo/AW/Italy; 85) and Merry Secret (6f/7f; 74); dam 5f 2yo winner (91); bred to be sharp and the stable have won the last two renewals; of obvious paper interest.

1,500gns purchase who started at 20-1 in the Brocklesby but showed some promise in finishing seventh of 17; possibilities, provided he builds on that effort.

0-6 but he ran pretty well in a first-time visor (retained) when 2l third of five in recent Ffos Las nursery (6f, heavy); could be thereabouts.

Showed promise when third of five in his first two starts over 5f on the AW in the spring, but hasn't built on it (had physical problems in two of his three starts since); both efforts in 6f nurseries suggest this trip on a soft surface may stretch his stamina; visor replaces cheekpieces.

Led late on when getting the better of Moretons for C&D win last October; ran no sort of race at Lingfield when last seen ten weeks ago but he's better than that and can't be discounted.

Runner-up in a Yarmouth nursery (5f, good to firm) in July but he's been well below that form in both runs since; had some traffic issues at Yarmouth last time but he's now 0-6 and has bit to prove back on AW.
