Showed promise on debut at Kempton (5f, Polytrack) and produced a similar effort at Musselburgh since (5f, good to soft); remains open to improvement and his chance is respected.
First foal; dam placed 7f/1m (RPR 68), closely related to useful 5f 2yo winner Hairy Rocket, half-sister to Group-placed 7f 2yo winner Marsh Hawk; trainer's turf juveniles always worth noting for any market confidence (16% strike-rate over five seasons and 25% this season).
Fourth foal; closely related to winners Dirty Thirty (French 1m; RPR 87) and United Force (7f; 79), half-brother to 5f and 6f 2yo winner Desert Dreamer (103); dam French 1m3f winner; trainer's first turf 2yo runner of 2024 (12% over five seasons).
20,000 yearling; ninth foal; brother to 6f winner Admiral D (including 2yo/AW; RPR 101), half-brother to three winners including Zoraida (5f-7.5f including 2yo) and Ascot Grey (French 1m-1m2f); dam unplaced 5f-7f (36); trainers (6% over five seasons) had a recent turf 2yo winner.
23,000gns half-brother to five winners, the best of whom was Shumooki (5f 2yo including Listed; RPR 103); 11-1 on debut at Wolverhampton last month, when unable to get in a blow; should be better for that and trainer back among the winners in recent days.
First foal; dam 6f 2yo winner (RPR 94); 12-1 when making an eyecatching debut at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) in March, finishing under 2l third, despite greenness; needs to step up on that bare form but that is possible.
First foal of a 6f AW winner (RPR 66), herself from the family of Group 1 2yo winner Elm Park; 7-2 on debut at Beverley (5f, soft) last month, when she showed promise for some way before weakening; should come on for that and perhaps also for less testing ground.
First foal; dam 24-race maiden, runner-up 7f 2yo (RPR 77); market drifter (10-1) on debut at Thirsk (5f, soft; wore tongue-tie) when eased down to beat just one home; trainer won this race last year (with debutant); big step up needed.
28,000euros yearling; closely related to two winners, the better being Mellow Yellow (1m/8.6f including 2yo/AW; RPR 94), half-sister to two winners including We Know (11.4f-1m5f; 87); dam 7f/1m winner (including 2yo/Group 3; 110); trainer 11% with turf 2yos (five seasons); worth market check.
