Form & Verdict
Shirocco gelding a 38,000euros 3yo; closely related to point/2m7f chase winner Another Day Out; pick of point-to-point runs came on final start when second at Ballycrystal in April; tongue tied for Rules debut and looks the stable second-string.

Shirocco gelding soundly beaten in bumpers at Punchestown and Kilbeggan in June; tongue-tie now left off but hard to make a case for.

Shirocco gelding a 38,000euros 3yo; closely related to point/2m7f chase winner Another Day Out; pick of point-to-point runs came when second at Ballycrystal in April; unfancied on yard debut when pulled up in recent Punchestown bumper; that was surely too bad to be true and cheekpieces added.

Form & Verdict
Invincible Spirit gelding; half-brother to 1m winner Rose de Pierre (including Listed; RPR 105); dam 1m2f-1m6f winner (including Group 3; 116); Flat bred but interesting runner for in-form yard (missed engagement at the festival due to soft ground).

9st 11lb

J: Richard Kingscote

T: Sir Michael Stoute

Failed to stay in last year's Derby and most progressive otherwise, accounting for easy Wolferton winner Israr (pair well clear) in Group 2 Huxley at Chester (extended 1m2f, good to firm) on his reappearance in May; among the market leaders for the Group 1 Prince Of Wales's at Royal Ascot on the back of that but had to miss it due to an infection; has a 3lb penalty for Chester but still the one beat.

Godolphin cast-off for only 1,000gns last year; first foal; half-brother to this year's 3yo 1m winner Sattwaa; dam 7f AW winner; probably all the better for this initial experience but ground should suit.
