was seen at the sales and scored well as a mature, well built, yearling
with a bit more size than the average 'early' one and some scope to develop.
By a US sire who won over 6f out of a European mare whose first two, US
bred, foals have race in Britain. One, won on debut but only by picking
up the pieces after an all-out pace war around Wolverhampton's polytrack.
The trainer has a growing reputation and a very good
recent record overall. He has been included in the 'FTO P&L' tracking
to follow all his debut runners because of his well above average results.
Earliest runners will include the odd rabbit trying to sneak a win and
the very earliest runners can be a little below his best debut readiness.
He had a solid 2yo placed second in the first 2yo race of 2007 with Concertmaster
(or 79 at season close) and this one looks to have at least as good a profile.
A very strong contender for the day and ought to be one to follow even
if beaten.
