Form & Verdict

Three wins from eight starts at two, highlighted by Group 1 win in the Prix Morny; status as a top juvenile underlined by Phoenix Stakes second to today's rival Babouche, and same placing in the Middle Park; had to work hard to beat stablemate Ides Of March over C&D on seasonal debut; should be sharper now; might not the want the ground too quick but this should be fine.
