Record is 2-10; successful over C&D most recently, beating Art Lover by 1l and reversing earlier placings with Bintaryana; peaking at the right time and enters calculations off bottom weight.

Off the mark in 6f novice on Newcastle AW 12 months ago; some good efforts in defeat in handicaps this year, the return to 6f helping over this C&D recently when he made rapid late headway from off the pace into fourth before his charge petered out behind Bintaryana; thereabouts.

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.

Form & Verdict
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.

Best efforts have come over 5f on Tapeta and he's now 2lb below the mark off which he won a C&D nursery last winter thanks to a couple of below-par runs on turf; does need to bounce back, though, following a short layoff.
