Well-made colt: fifth foal: half-brother to 7.5f (at 2 yrs) to 1½m winner Hunterview (by Reset) and 2006 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Strobilus (by Mark of Esteem), both useful: dam, 1¼m to 13f (in France) winner, out of sister to Prix de Diane winner Rafha, herself dam of very smart sprinter Invincible Spirit (by Green Desert): best effort in maidens (fairly useful form) when 3¼ lengths second of 14 to Native Khan at Newmarket second start: just respectable efforts since, probably unsuited by soft ground when 6 lengths second of 7 to Signs In The Sand there last time: best effort at 7f on good to firm ground.
