Showed further progress to beat Matauri Bay in the Solario at Sandown (7f, good); ran creditably, despite the ground probably being softer than ideal, in French Group 1 subsequently; remains of major interest. |

Seems versatile as regards ground; solid operator whose form stacks up well, and he's the only C&D winner in this field having landed the Royal Lodge; placed in the Futurity on final start; commands respect. |

26th Oct 2024 Soft 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
The form of his Group 3 Acomb second at York (7f, good to firm) in August looks red-hot and he was suited by the step up to 1m when winning the Group 2 Royal Lodge at Newmarket (soft) four weeks ago; he travelled well and found plenty to beat Royal Playwright, and holds leading claims today. |

Very useful colt whose 2yo form featured a success in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) and close third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (1m, firm); big player on the figures and may rate higher still. |

Below par in heavy-ground Horris Hill on final 2yos start; progressive on good going otherwise and bagged Listed honours at Doncaster (7f) the time before; however, something to find in this field. |

Record of 3-6 in his progressive 2yo campaign featured a Grade 1 success in Canada (1m, firm); good fourth at the Breeders' Cup and ties in with Aomori City on that effort; strong contender back on home soil. |

Doncaster winner second time out; behind the smart Al Qudra on debut but got closer to that same horse in an Ascot Listed race last time (7f, good to firm) when the winner dictated up front; he sets the standard. |

Exciting prospect who has impressively justified favouritism in two Kempton races (1m, AW) that were won last year by the same yard's Notable Speech en route to 2,000 Guineas glory; potentially high class. |

600,000euros yearling; 4-9 favourite, quickened to win C&D maiden by 8.5l on debut last month; same connections' Notable Speech made a successful debut in that maiden before winning this, and later the 2,000 Guineas, last year (their Highland Avenue won the same maiden and this race in 2021; they also won the maiden with subsequent top-level winner Measured Time); this is a deeper race, but he has obvious potential. |

Useful performer but finished behind a couple of these rivals at the Breeders' Cup and everything went his way in a Group 3 contest here (7f, soft) the time before; not the percentage call. |

Yet to encounter ground softer than good; has largely progressive RPRs; ran well in the Richmond Stakes (6f Group 2) three outings back; good third in Doncaster Listed event (7f) latest and ties in closely with Symbol Of Honour on that effort; possibilities. |

Scored on debut then finished second to Field Of Gold in the Solario; form dipped sharply in heavy-ground French Group 1 (had wind surgery since) but he may still have more to offer; by no means written off. |

Justified favouritism in a couple of AW novice events this winter, latest comfortably at Wolverhampton (7f); promising sort but needs big improvement at this level, being clear bottom on ratings. |

Even-money favourite for his Newcastle debut six weeks ago (6f) and his supporters rarely had an anxious moment, as he tanked through the race and settling matters quickly over 1f out; bred to be well suited by 7f and he's a major player with further progress likely. |
