06 Jahidin
€4,000 Kheleyf gelding. Half-brother to French 5.5f/6.5f winner Ruby Wedding. Dam French 5f-7f winner (including at 2 yrs). Needs a betting check for a stable which has had lots of 2-y-o winners in 2022.

Fair maiden for Robyn Brisland who hit the frame on each of his last 3 starts in handicaps at 7f last year. Up with strong pace, below best when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) in January and he's one to note starting out for his new yard.
