Frankel colt; cost 2,000,000gns as a yearling; dropped away from two furlongs down to finish last of seven on debut in a 7f maiden here last month; odds-on then, so probably too bad to be true; hard to be confident all the same; trainer also runs Jousting.

Ballydoyle colt who has shown useful form since wearing blinkers, winning at Naas (extended 1m2f, good) then running well from the front in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; Group 2); possibilities, with further improvement plausible in the retained headgear.

Made it 2-4 when winning a conditions race in first-time blinkers (retained) at Naas (10.3f, good) last month; plenty to find now upped in grade and Ryan Moore was originally due to ride stablemate Puppet Master (who's now a non-runner) but this 2,000,000gns yearling could have more to offer now tackling 1m4f and he's not discounted.
