A 40,000gns yearling; first foal; dam French 10.5f AW winner, closely related to winners Angel Power (Italian 1m2f Group 2) and The Reverend (useful 7f-1m6f); promising Navan debut last month when strong finishing 1/2l second over today's trip, despite rider losing an iron close home (yielding); has to be respected although this could prove to be a stronger maiden.

Made rapid progress to become a top middle-distance prospect after winning a 1m Dundalk maiden; asserted strongly when beating stablemate Endorsement in the Zetland Stakes (1m2f, good to firm); continued his rise with a smart display to beat A Boy Names Susie on very soft ground in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud; sets the standard.

Pierre Bonnard

9st 4lb

J: Christophe Soumillon

T: A P O’Brien

Beaten 8l on debut at Leopardstown (1m, yielding to soft) in July but much better to justify 6-5 favouritism in a 12-runner maiden at Dundalk (1m, AW) in August and there was plenty to like about that performance; half-sister to 3yo Crepe Suzette who was third in last month's 14.5f Park Hill; Group 1 Futurity entry, admittedly one of 12 from his yard but no shock if he is a big player in this.

Wootton Bassett colt justified favouritism in a Listowel festival maiden (7f, heavy), well on top at the finish; may not have been suited by quick ground at Newmarket in October, outpaced early and unable to sustain a challenge from two furlongs down in the Group 2 Autumn Stakes (1m, good-to-firm); 8lb behind Hardy Warrior on official ratings, RPR gap is wider.
