14.30 Leicester, Mdn, £7,000, 3yo/up, 10fT
NAQEEB (GB) (Nathaniel {Ire}) is a half-brother to none other than Baaeed (GB) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), who also began his career at this track before scaling the heights for Shadwell and William Haggas. Unsurprisingly, the same trainer is handed the opportunity to manage the career of this Derby-entered homebred, whose half-siblings also include last year's G1 Coronation Cup hero Hukum (Ire) also by Sea The Stars.
