Showed a bit more than on debut without doing enough to suggest his turn is imminent when sixth of 7 in maiden (50/1) at the Curragh (8f, good) 3 weeks ago.

Disappointed bearing in mind debut promise when ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f, good to firm, 4/1) 38 days ago, something presumably not right. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

Foaled February 2. Wootton Bassett colt. Brother to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Island Hopping. Dam twice-raced sister to high-class winner up to 1½m Magical out of smart winner up to 1¼m (including Irish 1000 Guineas and 2-y-o 7f winner) Halfway To Heaven. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

3/1, showed much improved form when second of 8 in maiden at Galway (8.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Could well prove hard to beat.

18/1, offered something to work on when seventh of 28 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) on debut 6 weeks ago. Significantly up in trip. May well do better.

Knew his job and showed ability when eighth of 14 in maiden (16/1) at the Curragh (7f, good) on debut 4 weeks ago. Should have more to offer.

Forecasts

Christmas Day (6/4), Hamiyan (11/4), Hedjet (3/1), Causeway (15/2), Lauda (14/1), Carwyn (16/1), Sunrush (20/1), Adel (40/1), Silk N Swagger (40/1), Farewell To Arms (100/1), Dawn Flame (100/1)

Verdict

HAMIYAN left his debut effort behind when finishing runner-up at Galway 11 days ago and a repeat could well be enough for him to go one better. Causeway ticks plenty of boxes on paper, so he heads up the dangers before the benefit of market clues, with his stablemate Christmas Day and Lauda another couple fancied to be in the shake-up, too.
