Rider reported that he didn't handle the yielding to soft ground on debut at Cork when a 5l sixth over 6f for Gavin Cromwell; makes stable/AW debut now and pedigree suggests he should take to the surface.
Half-brother to winners Insubordination (US 7.5f turf) and Manchester Boy (Italian 7f-1m1f); dam French 1m winner (inc 2yo; RPR 90), half-sister to winners In Front (1m4f-1m6f Listed) and More Than A Dream (Group-placed 1m-1m2f); check market.
Made a decent debut over 5f here last time when third, keeping on well late despite drifting left; this trip may help him and not ruled out from a kind draw.
Dam 7f 2yo winner (RPR 79), closely related to useful 1m 2yo winner Yaseer, half-sister to 7f winner Dirtyoldtown, out of 1m Listed winning half-sister to US 1m2f/1m4f Grade 3 winner Mustanfar; well drawn but unlikely to make an immediate impact; tongue-tied.
Ran well in Chepstow novice (6f, good to firm) for Clive Cox in July; made an okay stable debut when 5l third in handicap here last month (5f) but much improved latest when beaten a nose over C&D in first-time tongue-tie (retained); cheekpieces left off now but he is a big player and may put his experience to good use.
Best of three maiden runs came here over 5f last time when a 4.75l fourth at 80-1 (Sayonara a head in front that day); that provides something to build on.
60,000gns 2yo purchase; half-sister to winners Glenderry (1m 2yo AW; RPR 85) and Al Bidda (Greek 5f-7f); dam unraced sister to HK 5f winner Ace King, half-sister to 6f Listed winner Blanche Dubawi, out of 5f Group 3 winner Dixie Belle; from a good outfit, check market.
Dandy Man filly; half-sister to seven winners inc New York Girl (7f 2yo Group 3/US 8.5f; RPR 105), Broadway Duchess (Listed-placed 7f; 99), Enery (7f-1m4f inc AW/UAE; 90) and Prism (1m 2yo/9.5f AW; 87); dam French Listed-placed 1m1f 2yo winner; market can guide.
Promise shown in both starts for Ado McGuinness in April over 5f at Cork and here; way below that level on stable debut here last time when last (5f); needs to bounce back.
Always at the back when tailed off on debut at Naas, but showed marked improvement to take a 2.75l fourth of 12 over 7f here last time despite being slowly away; weakened gradually that day, so perhaps 6f can suit better.
