Winning siblings include Claymore, a Group 3 winner at 1m2f for this yard; third to Maltese Cross in a 1m Newmarket maiden on sole 2yo start; evens when making all in a Kempton novice (1m, AW) on return and his rallying third of six in Listed race at Epsom (1m2f, good) suggested that this longer trip would suit; some others have better form but he can improve.

J: Hollie Doyle

T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

Winning siblings include Claymore, a Group 3 winner at 1m2f for this yard; lots to like about his persevering third of seven in a good 1m Newmarket maiden (22-1; ridden by 7lb claimer) on debut but he didn't need any more than that form when making all on Kempton AW (1m) this month; Derby entry who should make a better 3yo but how much better will be clearer after today.

Backed at big odds when third of seven at 22-1 on debut in quality maiden at Newmarket (1m, good) last September; this half-brother to the stable's 1m2f Group 3 winner Claymore is entered in the Derby and could have plenty more to offer; strong contender.

J: Alexandra Egan

30,000gns foal; eighth foal; Japan half-brother to three winners, notably the stable's 1m2f Group 3 winner Claymore, who scored over 7f here on his 2yo debut; he has a lofty standard to aim at on this first run, however.
