60,000 gns Havana Grey gelding. Stepped up on debut when second in Doncaster novice 12 months ago. Off since but split a pair of now-useful sorts that day and this is a weak novice.

Brother to smart winner up to 1m Delaware. Showed plenty when second in strong maiden at Chantilly in November 2024. Off since (sold from Andre Fabre 28,000 gns in February) but has been found a weak race on debut for new connections.

Showed a bit when second of 3 in novice at Newcastle though was no match for winner. Failed to stay upped in trip at Southwell since but this distance should be more suitable for this free-going type.
