425,000gns yearling by Wootton Bassett out of 1m4f-winning sister to Breeders' Cup Turf and Arc winner Found; 5-1, narrowly came off worse in a sustained duel with an Ed Dunlop-trained newcomer in maiden at Doncaster (1m, soft) three weeks ago, the pair clear of a pretty useful third; sets the standard and looks sure to improve.

J: David Egan

Went close on debut at Doncaster (1m, soft) last September then kept on well to win a 1m maiden here (good) in October; this is a much stiffer test of his credentials but his dam is from a classy family and he's in excellent hands; entered in the Dante and Derby and could be set for big 3yo campaign.

Tongue tied first time and improved when comfortably off the mark in a novice at Chepstow (1m2f, good to firm) in May, leading over 2f out; handicap debut was a tough task at Royal Ascot (1m2f; 20-1) and he tailed off having led 7f; dropped 2lb and early days.

Third AW success in his last four starts when comfortably on top over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton eight days ago; he does need to prove he's as effective on turf (0-5 but was second in a nursery on soft last year) but he had them well strung out at Dunstall Park and could still be well treated even after a further 7lb rise.
