Frankel colt and dam's siblings include Grade 1 and Group 3 winners; progressed in novices and the manner in which he kept on for second on his handicap debut here over 7f (good to firm) suggests he'll devour today's extra distance; going the right way and seemingly held in high regard having been towards the top of the market in all his races; firmly enters calculations.
