Son of Persian King; overcame inexperience to land the odds on his debut in 1m Kempton novice 33 days ago, making up considerable ground to lead close home; he looks to have a lot more to offer and is very much the one to beat.

2-2 in last season's first campaign (1m, AW) and he built upon his comeback run with a close second in a first-time hood (retained) at Sandown (1m, good) last month; his finishing effort last time suggests this step up in trip could prompt further improvement; due a 3lb rise and he's one to consider.

Two from two (on AW) in his first season last year; paid the price for going too freely when beaten favourite in C&D handicap (good) on reappearance but may settle better with the outing under his belt and hood now fitted; still open to further progress and remains of interest.

Won on debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last August and easily justified 1-9 odds in a novice at Newcastle (1m, AW) in September; his opening mark is a lofty one but he has the potential to be better than it; respected on return.
