32,000euros half-brother to nine winners including My Lea (Italian 5f/6f including 2yo/Group 3; RPR 106) and Royal Lea (Italian 5.5f/6f including Listed; 94); 11-2 on Yarmouth debut (6f, good) last October and he came from off the pace to win in emphatic style; has been gelded since but he's strongly respected under a penalty on his return; cheekpieces added.
Promising fourth on Lingfield debut in March (6f, AW) and he built on that when a front-running second at Doncaster (6f, good; beaten a nose) last month; needs to take another step forward here but it's still early days and he's in the mix with hood added; bolted before the start and withdrawn last Monday (5-2 at the time).
12,000euros foal, 16,000 yearling, 11,000euros 2yo; third foal; closely related to 5f AW winner Love Rock (RPR 59), half-brother to 5.7f winner Plutonic (71); dam 5f 2yo winner (including Listed; 94), half-sister to useful 5f/6f winner Gordon Bennett; has plenty of speed in his pedigree but this looks a tough starting point.
Half-sister to 6f/7f winner Zoum Zoum (including Listed; RPR 113); looked inexperienced and had some traffic issues on Salisbury debut (6f, good) last month but she kept on well to finish third of 12 behind the favourite; that form puts her firmly in the picture and she should know more this time; interesting contender.
