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.

Consistent colt who can boast 5f wins at Nottingham (novice) and Windsor (nursery off 4lb lower) this season; finished behind two of today's rivals at Haydock two weeks ago but he raced further away from the stands' rail than either Clear Force or Concert and it was also his first run on slower than good; apprentice takes off a handy 5lb; contender.

In fine form over 5f and although he paid a high handicapping price for a wide-margin Redcar win in June, he so nearly overcame the 8lb rise at York next time against Naana's Shadow; had more to do at Ascot (good to firm) after but produced another sterling effort in a close sixth of 15; solid claims back against his own age group.

Making good progress for his new stable, gaining a deserved success at Redcar last month and following it with a fine second of 13 at York a fortnight ago; a 5lb rise for that defeat does ask an even stiffer question of him but he's not taken lightly.
