Moffett - The Competitive Edge Maiden

Hello Youmzain gelding is closely related to 7f winner The Attorney (inc 2yo/AW; RPR 103), half-brother to 5f-7f winner Taj Alriyadh (inc 2yo/HK Group 3; 117); dam unraced half-sister to winners Space Blues (6.5f/7f Group 1) and Shuruq (UAE 1m Group 2); 260,000gns yearling didn't make it to the track for the Crisfords; picked up for small money in October.

Prominent racer was second over this trip at two; second over 6f three times this year, once here and in big-field Curragh handicaps last twice.

Dam was decent and won over 6f here but has been a poor broodmare thus far; has been behind Aughlish both starts here, just over two lengths off her over this trip last time.

Raced keenly when beaten 6l over 6f here in February; 50-1 when wiped out at the start at Navan lately.

Has been on the speed in two 6f runs on soft; second of 24 at the Curragh (RPR of 83) and no match for promising newcomer when second at Cork; speedy pedigree and shorter trip should be fine; big chance if he handles the surface.
