T: George Scott

500,000gns yearling; well backed ahead of his 7f debut (soft) last backend, when inclined to pull hard and not seeing it out behind a useful rival; built on that on his 6f AW comeback here, when impressive from the front; plenty of potential and holds a Group 1 entry.

2-1, went very freely but still made a promising start when third of seven in maiden at Ascot (7f, soft) on his debut in September; this son of Night Of Thunder fetched 500,000gns as a yearling and seems sure to do better, especially if proving more tractable.

65,000gns yearling who is open to improvement on his second start but he was a well-beaten sixth of seven at 15-2 on last month's debut at Ascot (7f, soft) and a sizeable step forward is necessary today.

Smartly bred, being a brother to Baaeed and Hukum; duly showed strong promise in justifying favouritism at Ascot (7f, soft) in sole 2yo outing; held a Royal Lodge entry at the time and currently holds three major entries, including the Derby; should be suited by middle distances; bright prospect.
