Left good impression with 1m wins on Kempton AW in December and March, the latter in a good conditions stakes; just 13-2 for the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) 12 days ago and he was bang there 3f out to 2f out, but floundered thereafter and finished ninth of 14; likely to stay 1m2f but needs to prove that his run in that recent Classic was all wrong.

J: James Doyle

T: Charlie Appleby

Son of Sea The Stars, whose stellar 3yo campaign included a success in the 2,000 Guineas; two from two, both outings over 1m on Kempton AW, last time looking value for more than the 1l winning margin in a conditions race that Notable Speech (from same yard) won in 2024 before following up in this contest; deserted by William Buick but the stable landed this Classic with the second string, ridden by James Doyle, in 2022; interesting contender who brings significant potential.

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Charlie Appleby

Fine pedigree and he made a perfect start to his career when scoring by 2.25l in a C&D novice 117 days ago (5-6f); clearly in need of the experience on that occasion but he will have learned plenty, having to be switched in the straight and then picking up well without his rider having to get too serious; he has more to do today but he looks a potential Pattern-race performer; strong claims for a yard which took this with the subsequent 2000 Guineas winner in 2024.

February foal; by Sea The Stars; second foal; dam's siblings include Cutlass Bay (10.5f Group 1) and Boscobel (1m4f Group 2) and she made a winning debut for this yard on Polytrack, later won 1m1f Group 3 in France; trainer's AW 2yos always need close scrutiny in the market (29% here).
