Pushed Maltese Cross all the way in Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm) and, although losing ground on that rival, fourth in the Derby at Epsom (1m4f, soft) was creditable; however, needs to bounce back from the German Derby (1m4f, soft) in which he was favourite but tailed off.

Half-brother to smart Flat and hurdle winner Absurde; odds-on winner of a maiden at Goodwood (1m2f, soft) and novice at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft; made all) on last two starts as 2yo; pushed Maltese Cross all the way in Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good to firm) and could improve on that first-time-out display; more to do but he's heading the right way.

A very different proposition when upped to 1m4f at Goodwood (good; unraced on firmer) three weeks ago in his second handicap, coming from off the pace and passing the post in front by a short head but demoted for interference (edged left); up 3lb but may well have more to give, including at new trip.

By Wootton Bassett and out of a sister to Oaks winner Was, he fetched 4,300,000gns in 2024; he can be forgiven his no-show in last month's soft-ground Derby and his previous second at Haydock (first-time cheekpieces retained since) was behind a stablemate who went on to finish close up in the Queen's Vase; respected.

Having fetched 4,300,000gns in 2024, he is the most expensive yearling colt ever sold at auction in Europe; by Wootton Bassett out of a sister to Oaks winner Was; on the other hand, he was left nearly 9l behind by Bay Of Brilliance at Redcar (1m1f, good to soft) in October and sported cheekpieces at 10-1 when a front-running second of four to a stablemate in Haydock novice (1m4f, good to firm) in April; admirably tenacious in the latter but the dream was once of so much more.

Attainment level in handicaps not clarified by June's weakening 6l fourth here that perhaps owed more to racing wastefully than to the 1m2f (winners at that trip in immediate family); may learn more today.

Well beaten at 80-1 or bigger on all three starts (7f-1m1f); however, she goes handicapping off a modest mark and her dam was useful; not discounted, and the betting could be informative.
