Comment: February foal; £42,000 yearling; half-brother to 6f AW 2yo winner Maui Breeze; got the message from halfway when sixth of 15 in a useful Leicester maiden (5f, good; 10-1) that has thrown up three winners and others to have run well subsequently; extra furlong should suit and he's open to plenty of improvement; yard 2-4 with 2yos here in the last five years.

Comment: Attracted some market support before going close on debut here (5f, good) but then let odds-on backers down when third at Beverley (5f, good to firm) three weeks later; hampered early that day, however, and the winner and second have both run well subsequently; 6f no issue on pedigree and he sets the standard on that initial run.

Comment: £30,000 yearling whose pedigree is a mix of speed and stamina; 11-1 when an encouraging third in a course maiden (5f, good) 23 days ago; draw not helpful and he'll need to do better but that's likely with this extra furlong almost certain to suit.
