Closely related to 1m4f winner Vaguely Royal (including AW; RPR 96); dam 1m-8.5f winner (including AW 2yo/US turf stakes; 97), closely related to 1m Group 1 winner Lillie Langtry (dam of Group/Grade 1 winners Minding, Tuesday and Empress Josephine); enough to like on pedigree and interesting to see how he fares in the market, especially in relation to stablemate Majed.

Improved on last year's turf form when returned to the AW over the winter, but he went up the weights and his challenge never seriously materialised in the Victoria Cup over C&D (good to firm) in May, when a one-paced sixth of 17; dropped just 1lb and needs more for first-time cheekpieces; sold for £320,000 this week.

Made it fourth time lucky with cheekpieces added (retained) when easily seeing off six rivals in a 1m4f Thirsk novice (good to firm) a fortnight ago; the form of his Windsor third on good ground prior to that has been boosted and he's likely capable of bigger performances in handicaps; shapes as if he'll stay this sort of trip.
