5/1

Brother to the top-class pair of Hukum and Baaeed and looked a good prospect himself when making a winning start in an Ascot maiden (7f) in September, showing signs of greenness but scoring readily. Respected with the potential of plenty more to offer this year.

Sent off favourite and made a winning debut in decisive fashion in a Southwell novice in October. After 6 months off, shaped well trying to concede a penalty when second of 13 in similar event at Kempton (1m) 23 days ago. Better to come but this is much tougher.

Made a successful debut in taking fashion, overcoming inexperience to quicken clear off a modest gallop in 6-runner novice at Nottingham (1m) in October. Looks another exciting type for his leading yard who have been in red-hot form.

Forecasts

Action (4/6), Raaheeb (5/1), Al Zanati (11/2), Wise Prince (6/1), Spyce (20/1), Oceans Four (50/1), Winding Stream (80/1)

ACTION went the right way in his 4 starts as a 2-y-o, going close in the Futurity at Doncaster on his final outing, and he can continue his progress as he goes up in trip. He is taken to provide Aidan O'Brien with back-to-back wins in this race, though Raaheeb and Wise Prince both appeal as exciting prospects following their winning debuts last year.
