By Frankel out of a 1,000 Guineas winner; odds-on favourite on Newbury debut (6.5f, soft) in October and he forged clear to win with lots in hand; well-held third under a penalty at Kempton in December but that was behind a smart prospect who finished third in the Craven (Group 3) this spring; sets the standard on that latest form and he's a big player on his return.

Comment

Won on Newbury debut and he ran into a smart prospect at Kempton last time; key player

Stable Tour

"He won on his debut at Newbury and then disappointed on his second start at Kempton, but there were reasons for that. He won't appear for a little bit, but he goes well and we like him. 27-04-26"

Spotlight

260,000gns yearling; showed ability when in midfield on Newmarket debut last October and he found improvement when fourth of 15 on his Newbury reappearance (7f, good) last month; that was an eyecatching effort from off the pace and he should continue to progress with experience; shortlisted.

Comment

Reappeared with an eyecatching fourth at Newbury and that form puts him in the picture

Spotlight

135,000euros yearling; ran green at a big price on Newbury debut (7f, good) last month but he made some good late headway and was only beaten 4l in seventh of 15; ties in with English Time on that form and he looks a likely improver on his second start; dangerous.

Comment

Made late gains on Newbury debut last month and he ties in with English Time on that form

Spotlight

200,000euros yearling who was sold by Coolmore for 8,000gns last October; 80-1 on debut here (6f, good to firm) in April but he came from off the pace to win in emphatic style; held in third on his return visit last month but he wasn't beaten far and that was a creditable effort under a penalty; now goes up in trip but he has plenty of stamina on dam's side and he's strongly respected.

Comment

Win and creditable third in two runs over 6f here this spring; respected upped in trip

Quotes

Spotlight

Has a striking pedigree but he made a low-key start at a biggish price at Newbury (7f, good) last month; should know more this time but he needs to leave that debut form a long way behind.

Gelded son of Space Blues; attracted some support into 14-1 here (6f, good) last month but he finished a well-held fifth of ten; should benefit from that experience but he needs major improvement upped in trip.

220,000gns yearling; brother to two useful 7f winners, but he didn't show much at a big price on Kempton debut (7f, AW) in April and he's probably one for later on.
