Mofarij, he went off 7/2 favourite, and ran nicely, finishing second to Spanish Moon.
A Bering half-brother to several winners, including high-class 6f/7f winner Iffraaj and useful 1998 2-y-o 7f winner Kareymah, and useful 1m winner Jathaabeh; dam, 7f winner from 3 starts, half-sister to Cape Cross and closely related to dam of Diktat.
A well-made gelding, he couldn't get by the winner, but is sure to go on to
better things himself, shaping well from what was a difficult draw as it turned
out, eventually tucking in, and the last of all to come off the bridle; he's a
good type physically.
