Made all in a maiden last July and most impressive in four-runner Group 2 at Leopardstown (1m, good to yielding) in September; made favourite for the Derby on the back of that, and still has that position despite his third of five behind two stablemates when warm favourite for Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m) in October, which was on heavy ground; sister Giselle won last year's Lingfield Oaks Trial (Oaks fifth); their trainer is the first one to turn to for winners of these Chester Derby and Oaks trials; hard to beat.

Made all in a maiden at Killarney (1m, yielding to soft) in July on his second run and easily followed up under Christophe Soumillon in the four-runner Group 2 Juvenile Stakes at Leopardstown (1m, good to yielding) last month; favourite for the Derby on the back of that and, while he's been weak in the ante-post betting for this race, he certainly has star potential.

Has big-race entries; Frankel close relation to multiple Group 1-winning fillies Magical (up to 1m4f) and Rhododendron (up to 1m2f); well held on debut but second favourite for a maiden at Galway (7f, soft to heavy) later in October and eventually got the better of an odds-on stablemate who's not been seen since; cheekpieces go on and he's presumably the stable second string, but surely set for big improvement over middle distances this term.

Eighth foal; Frankel colt is closely related to five winners, including top-class fillies Magical and Rhododendron; dam Halfway To Heaven; likely to improve from Curragh debut but unlikely to be a match for stablemate Garden Party

Record is only 1-6 but he's consistent on bare figures and has two pieces of Group 3 form, last time fourth of five (not disgraced) in a Chester Vase won by the the colt who is now Derby favourite; possibilities, provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces.

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Derby entry; progressive as 2yo (hooded three times) while always finding one or two too good for him, in the last instance when third behind two Aidan O'Brien-trained colts in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m2f, good to firm); it's unlikely he had to reproduce that form when seeing off a newcomer by half a length in novice at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) on reappearance, at 4-7; not the most exciting on that evidence but likely to relish this extra distance.

Beaten favourite in three 1m novice/maiden runs but showed high level of ability; improved for the step up to 1m2f when finishing third of eight in the Group 3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket when last seen; should have no difficulty winning a novice and he sets a high standard for his rivals to aim at.

Irish Derby entry whose dam is sister to Yorkshire Oaks and Vermeille winner Warm Heart; hung markedly right on his last two starts as a 2yo when 50-1 second at the Curragh (good) to subsequent Group 1 Futurity winner Hawk Mountain and going one better in another 1m maiden at Gowran (heavy); made a satisfactory return when second of four in a conditions event at Cork (10.5f, good) 12 days ago; can build on that but he needs to does so in a major way.

Lope De Vega colt improved nicely in three runs at two, notably chasing home the high-class Hawk Mountain in Curragh maiden and final start outstayed long-time leader at Gowran in testing conditions, tending to hang right both occasions; Irish Derby entry looks the type to keep improving and considered.
