Improved RPR each of first four starts (managed a 6f win at Newcastle) but progress has stalled; ran over 7f in last two outings; promising effort at Wolverhampton but weak in the betting and ran accordingly on turf debut at Musselburgh; bit to prove back sprinting; trainer also runs Caviar Cowboy.

Pinatubo half-brother to French 6f winner Dream Whisper (RPR 92); dam 5f 2yo scorer (99), closely related to 1m4f Group 1 winner Old Persian; makes obvious appeal for a top yard operating at a 35% strike-rate with 2yos in 2025.
