A brother to the smart bumper and 2m hurdle winner I Am Maximus, and he looked a good prospect in his own right when making a winning debut at Fontwell (1m5f, soft; 5-6) in April, asserting in the straight despite running green; open to improvement and should make a bold bid to defy a penalty.

Nicely on top to win a Fontwell bumper (1m5f, soft) and it was always likely to be tough under a penalty at Ascot, where he didn't run too badly in sixth; expected to make his presence felt on hurdling debut with this longer trip sure to help (brother to an Irish National winner). |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 5f 159y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
110,000euros brother to smart bumper/2m hurdle winner I Am Maximus; looked inexperienced when odds-on for a C&D event (soft) two weeks ago but he seized the initiative 2f out before going clear in the final furlong; that was a bright start from this 4yo and he should be more streetwise this time; respected under a penalty. |

Harzand gelding; half-brother to three winners, notably Alwaysandforever (1m2f/11.4f Flat; RPR 103) and Zabeel Star (1m-1m4f Flat; RPR 94; also over hurdles); dam, 1m-1m2f winner (RPR 91), is a half-sister to 10.5f Listed winner Buckwheat; appeals on paper but the market can guide. |
