First foal of the yard's triple Group 1 winner One Master; recorded an RPR of 91 when runner-up on Lingfield debut (7.6f, good to firm) in May and he built on that with a close call under front-running tactics at Windsor (1m, good to firm) last month; sets a clear standard on this drop back in trip and he's a strong contender.
