E1,900,000 breeze-up purchase last spring; very smart juvenile form, aside from when pulling too hard in the Acomb; impressed in winning a 1m Group 3 event at Newmarket in September before a fine third placing (1 1/2l behind Gstaad) in the Dewhurst; now has an 8l deficit to overturn in another clash with Gstaad following his distant 2,000 Guineas third; first-time cheekpieces.

Aptly bred, being by Night Of Thunder and out of a mare by another 2,000 Guineas winner, namely George Washington; 1,900,000euros breeze-up purchase last spring and duly made a big splash in his 2yo races, aside from when pulling too hard in the Acomb; showed smart from at Newmarket (7f, good/good to firm) in the autumn, impressing in the Tattersalls Stakes (Group 3) then running well (one place behind Gstaad) in the Dewhurst; yard has landed this prize three times in the last four years; big player.

1,900,000euros breeze-up purchase; pulled too hard in the Acomb but that defeat is flanked by Newmarket wins; debut form has worked out well and he was impressive in the Goup 3 Tattersalls Stakes over C&D (good) last time having settled better than at York; looks a Group 1 performer in the making and commands respect.

1,900,000euros breeze-up buy who won on debut on the other Newmarket course (7f, good to firm) in July then finished third in the Group 3 Acomb at York (7f, good to firm; 11-10 favourite); it's disconcerting that he pulled so hard on the Knavesmire but that performance nevertheless gives him strong claims this afternoon, and he can improve further if settling better.

Has a useful pedigree but cost 1,900,000euros at a May breeze-up sale; 5-6 in a 12-runner maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) nearly six weeks ago and always front rank to win by a short head from an Aidan O'Brien-trained newcomer who has won since, as have a load of others from that race; has Group 1 entries and needs plenty of respect.
