Owner: Saxon House Racing

5 Year-old chestnut gelding by Trade Fair out of Focosa(ITY). A lovely looking gelding who has bags of ability, he was given plenty of time as a youngster and ran consistently well in 2010, placing four times before going on to win by a comfortable six lengths at Kempton over two miles.

In 2011, he won on his reappearance at Goodwood and followed up at Sandown, showing his versatility by winning over the shorter trip of a mile and six furlongs. He then went on to place in three competitive handicaps at Newbury, Ascot and Salisbury, before ending his season how he started by winning nicely, coming from last to first under top weight, while breaking the Kempton course record in the process.

He had a good winter break and returned to the track in May at Goodwood. He ran a pleasing race to be second, giving 20lbs to the winner, and was denied a clear run on more than one occasion. A real stable favourite, he remains an exciting prospect for the coming season.
