460,000gns yearling; 11th foal; half-brother to seven winners, notably Pilote (1m/1m1f including 2yo/Listed) and Esquisse (1m including Listed); dam 1m-1m4f winner (including 2yo/Group 2); in top hands and this well-bred Frankel colt should have a big role to play on debut.

Frankel colt who comfortably defied a 3lb penalty in Group 3 event at Newmarket (good) on seasonal debut, completing a 1m2f/1m1f hat-trick and taking overall record to 4-7; gave the impression he'll be as effective returned to 1m; progressing well and his stable has landed this prize five times, including the last two years; commands respect.

Third in the Sandown Classic Trial in April and second in Group 2 Dante at York (good to firm) in May; ran poorly in the Derby but bounced right back when readily landing a 1m2f Listed race at Deauville in August; needs another step forward to take this and the drop back in trip might not be ideal, but he surely retains potential.
