Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

Failed to land a blow in two starts over 6f at Windsor thus far. Represents a top yard and switch to this surface may bring about an improvement.

Unraced gelded son of Zebedee bought for €33,000 at the sales as a yearling. Half-brother to useful winner Bahaarah and he is an interesting runner on debut.

Form:

Forecasts

Moyassar (4/9), Reconnaissance (6/1), Suppressor (7/1), Swiper (14/1), Fancy Flyer (16/1), Recuerdame (20/1), Cromwell (33/1), Dragon Kuza (33/1), Archdeacon (33/1), Zeebad (50/1), Pentland Lad (66/1)

MOYASSAR brings some strong form into this event and he can register a first victory at the third time of asking on his AW debut. The selection was narrowly beaten on debut and with the return to 6f in his favour he can get the better of Reconnaissance who ran well on debut and represents a yard in good form at present. Debutant Suppressor is another to represent a stable in good form and he can finish third.
