Comment: January foal by Kodiac; £205,000 breeze-up 2yo; dam runner-up 9.4f/1m2f AW (RPR 76), half-sister to winners Good Effort (triple 6f AW Listed), Magical Mile (1m/1m2f) and With Promise (7f 2yo), out of unraced sister to 7f/1m winner; interesting Irish challenger whose stable can get them ready first time; market informative.
