Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced colt who was far from impressive in completing a Newmarket novice double (6f) last time; however, that race has been won by a few subsequent Group scorers from this stable in recent years and he remains open to further progress; closely related to a C&D winner.

Has been described as a challenge by connections but he's a talented one and the drop to 5f suited when beating a smart rival (later runner-up at the Breeders' Cup) in a Group 3 over C&D (good; won a novice on good to firm) in October; nothing special on his recent return here but he was eased when his winning chance had gone and the return to 5f can suit; much respected.

Quickly reached a fairly useful standard with his maiden/novice wins on turf (6f) and that form has substance; came up short in the Richmond (albeit raced in unfavoured group) and Gimcrack since but this is effectively a drop back in grade; could go well, provided he takes to the surface.

Record of 0-4 since debut success but he's a useful sort (has Listed form) and ran well off top weight, despite traffic issues, in competitive 6f nursery at the York Ebor festival most recently; bids to emulate his best sibling Lady Of Spain, who bagged Group 3 honours last Saturday.

Successful 2yo debut and later close up in a 6f York handicap (good to firm) last August; best effort since when beaten about 1l at Newmarket in April but the step up to 7f back at York last time wasn't a particular positive, even though he ran perfectly well in fifth of 14; major contender back at 6f on drying ground.
