950,000gns yearling by Frankel; won narrowly when dictating a steady pace in maiden at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) on second start; it's rather alarming that he finished last of ten in the other two, but latest was handicap debut over just 7f, which was probably too short, and he now has his tongue tied.
