250,000gns son of Frankel; unraced on softer than good; won at Salisbury on debut and gave subsequent big-race winner New Century plenty to think about in three-runner, 1m Listed race at same course (1m); registered his own Listed success in eight-runner race at Haydock (1m) three weeks ago, travelling best and asserting in good style once he got in the clear, so he brings good form and plenty of promise.

Form & Verdict
Both starts at Newbury, better effort last time (6.5f, good to firm) when close second behind a Godolphin newcomer who cost 525,000gns at breeze-up sale and looks potentially smart; should have no problem with this extra yardage; sets the form standard.

Found only Realign too strong at Haydock (6f, good to soft) last autumn despite meeting trouble at a crucial stage, and he was back on the up when a neck second of 16 at Ripon (6f, good to soft) six weeks ago; reliable and has notably solid credentials.

Just one win to his name after 13 starts but he ended his 3yo campaign with two fine efforts, notably when chasing home a well-backed sprinter at Haydock in September (6f, good to soft; traffic problems at a crucial stage), and his return to action at Kempton should have blown away any cobwebs; best efforts on flat tracks but he is feasibly weighted if the undulations of Ripon aren't an issue.

Just one win to his name after 12 starts but he ended his 3yo campaign with two fine efforts, notably when chasing home a well-backed sprinter at Haydock in September (6f, good to soft; traffic problems at a crucial stage); 2lb higher mark less of a concern than the fact he has been well beaten in his two seasonal debut runs.

Never figured over 5f at Ascot then proved suited by the longer distance at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) where he finished fourth, albeit running to an ordinary RPR; needs to show further progress.

Made a winning handicap debut at Kempton (AW) on her return last May and scored again at Thirsk (good) in September; fine effort despite not getting the breaks when just denied in Ascot Listed event (also 7f, soft) the following month and midfield finish from a poor draw at Longchamp a fortnight later is easily glossed over; commands respect on this return.

Clearcut winner of her handicap/seasonal debut on Kempton AW (7f) in May; held her own at Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood in next two runs and she didn't have great track position when down the field at York (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; needs to step up again after that last run but she still has potential and this is a drop back in grade.
