Form & Verdict

Without Parole colt cost 35,000gns as a yearling and proving a shrewd buy, unbeaten in three starts; Salisbury novice, held off Coventry second Do Or Do Not in Group 2 July Stakes at Newmarket, and extended margin over same rival when lasting out 7f trip in Group 2 Vintage Stakes at Goodwood, rallying gamely (Dorset a below-par fifth); likely slower ground and stiffer track will place more of an emphasis on stamina but has the right attitude.
