A nice gelding by Group 1 winner Motivator, he was heavily backed on debut at Marseille at the start of this month when finishing second for Jerome Reynier.
He wasn't given a tough race that day having hit a fair bit of traffic mid race and his breeding suggests that the slight step up in trip here shouldn't be too much of a problem and he looks a cracking price against some unexposed sorts.
Disappointing on debut over the extended 1m 1f distance at Deauville last year, the Iffraaj colt made amends for that disappointing debut when bolting up over a mile at Cagnes-sur-Mer in January.
He was then narrowly beaten by a head over the same C&D a month later with the winner of that race going on to win again since so despite a step up in class here, he's likely to take all the beating.
A nice winner on debut over a mile at Cagnes-sur-Mer in January, she found the pace a little too strong when fading off to finish a two lengths fifth of 10 at Saint-Cloud next time out.
Amazonie will likely be the one to set the pace here and if she's produced a little later than she was last time out and bides her time, she should be a major threat to the race favourite.
A terrific debut season in 2020 which saw him win three of his six races all over 1m 2f, he showed plenty to suggest that he can rediscover that form when a two lengths fourth over the same distance last time out.
He's closely related to three winners and with that run under his belt, he's likely to progress and he's hard to rule out in a fairly weak Listed affair.
