Form & Verdict
Well on top last September in a maiden at Kempton (7f, AW) and four-runner novice at Bath (1m, good to firm); non-runner in Group 1 Futurity in October due to heavy going; this Frankel colt has a lot to find on ratings but he's a fascinating prospect who looks sure to be suited by 1m2f+.

Form & Verdict
Closely related to 2025 Derby winner Lambourn; carries head high but progressed with every start last season and ended it with a close, battling second to one of his stablemates in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy); consequently 4-6 for Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good) three weeks ago but sluggish leaving the stalls and for most of the race before mustering something to finish fourth of seven; perhaps a first-time tongue-tie that day backfired, and he now goes without; the form pick if he bounces back.

Closely related to last year's Derby winner Lambourn and has his own Epsom aspirations, having ended a progressive 2yo campaign with close second to one of his stablemates in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy); now goes in tongue-tie; the pick on the figures and may well rate higher still.

Won a heavy-ground maiden on third 2yo start and led on the post in Group 3 at Leopardstown (1m1f, yielding) in October; 11-1 with three of his stablemates among those at shorter odds when he reappeared in nine-runner Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown (1m2f, good to yielding) last month but it was him who asserted in the final 1f to win by half a length; will stay further but looks firmly in the mix.

Short head winner from A Boy Named Susie in the Eyrefield Stakes over 1m1f here last October; extra furlong should suit but would probably need more than a 2lb concession to account for Pierre Bonnard.

Twice-raced colt who is brother to a Group 2 winner for his owner and seems likely to improve further; second at Sandown (7f) and went one better at York (1m, good) where he held on by a neck from a rival who subsequently ran well in Group 3; possibilities.

Promising win at Nottingham (1m, good to soft) last October on sole 2yo start and showed up very well before fading into third in the Group 3 Classic Trial here (1m2f, good) on his reappearance; pulled hard and weakened when finishing last in the Group 2 Dante at York (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; this drop back in trip looks the right move and he retains potential.
