Signed off his juvenile career with a creditable second before returning from an 11-month break at Salisbury (7f, good/soft). Below the level of form he showed as 2yo (beaten odds-on favourite) a lack of an outing may have told; better expected.
Fifth foal; £82,000 yearling, half-brother to 6f/7f winner Medicean Bliss, dam 7f winner who stayed 1m2f. Interesting newcomer from a yard that is having a decent season although they are 0-11 with similar newcomers this year; market will be useful.
Very little impact in three minor events this year (all over 7f); unseated today's rider at the start last time. Hard to recommend anything other than a watching brief on the evidence so far.
Well behind likely market leader Alrajaa when making her debut at Salisbury last month. Showed very little during that first effort (looked very green, always behind); faces another tough task.
Returns from a fair absence having had just the one previous start on the AW at Kempton over today's trip. Looked badly in need of that experience under a hands-and-heels ride; now makes her stable debut (was with Rod Millman); little expected.
Forecasts
Alrajaa (2/13), Edraak (10/3), Four Feet (20/1), Plum Duff (66/1), Auntie June (66/1)
A weak contest and unless the well-bred newcomer Edraak is on his game first-time out this presents an easy opportunity for ALRAJAA who was knocked over in what turned into a match race last time. He should have come on from that Salisbury seasonal debut though and it will be a considerable shock if he’s turned over again in a similar scenario. The remaining trio have little to recommend then outside of handicaps and Four Feet is given a nominal vote to take the minor berth.
- Alrajaa
