50,000gns yearling, 350,000euros breeze-up 2yo; brother to Hong Kong 5f/6f winner Kaholo Angel (RPR 88), half-brother to 6f 2yo winner Mahato (85); dam a maiden half-sister to some useful winners; purchase price catches the eye and he's one to note for market confidence.

J: Daniel Tudhope

Chepstow novice winner (6f, good to firm) who won a nursery at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last month; no threat for the first two when third in the Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, good to soft) three weeks ago but that was still a good performance and he could be a contender now down in grade.

Narrowly justified favouritism in Windsor nursery (6f, good to soft) last time when looking well treated on his earlier second behind the subsequent Gimcrack winner; steadily progressive but this is harder.
