500,000gns Galileo colt; ran green when a weak 13-2 shot at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 17 days ago but he produced a powerful finish to lead in the final strides; that was a good start and he's strongly respected under a penalty on this step up in trip.

Launched career with two novice wins last May (good/good to soft); struggled badly in his three subsequent starts, a Group 2 and a pair of handicaps, when trying cheekpieces and blinkers; remains of interest having been gelded during his absence and for the fact that connections are persevering; in the Cambridgeshire; market could be informative.

Made his debut in May and improved for a clearcut maiden win when upped in trip at Goodwood in June; hot favourite for handicap debut here (again 1m6f on good) 13 days ago and launched a strong challenge from well off the pace but was held off by a head; up 3lb but he's an appealing candidate for 2m and further improvement.

135,000gns yearling; by Noble Mission out of 7f-1m2f winner (RPR 102); no match for the very classy winner in a Newbury maiden (1m3f, good to soft) last month but he came from the rear to finish a clear second of ten; sets a good standard on that form and he should improve for the experience.
