Progressive at 7f in 2025 and he returned from ten months off to run out an easy winner of a Class 3 handicap over C&D (2-2 at Newcastle) in March; up 7lb but foolish to think he's not up to the task; stable won this in 2024.

Won a 7f course maiden last January and went on to show useful form in turf handicaps over that trip in the spring; not seen for ten months (gelded) but should have more to offer as a lightly raced sort from a top stable; his strong-travelling, front-running style over 7f suggests he should have the speed for 6f (previous attempt came when green on debut); very interesting contender.

Developing into a useful 7f colt; justified favouritism at Ascot (good to firm) most recently, taking his record when making the running to 3-3; went very close over C&D the time before; not sure to get his own way in this big field but otherwise an improving sort who warrants respect.

Form & Verdict
Frankel colt whose dam's siblings include Grade 1 and Group 3 winners; produced form figures of 521 in 2yo novice events, scoring nicely at Kempton (7f, AW) the final time; highly likely to improve further this term and opening mark looks attractive in view of his pedigree; respected.

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.
