Landed the 2,000 Guineas, albeit having got first run on the somewhat unlucky Field Of Gold, then was trained for the Derby but missed that Classic as the ground was deemed not fast enough (has raced only on good/firmer); tackling 1m at Royal Ascot backfired as his speed looked blunted after being geared up for 1m4f at Epsom; definitely ready for this step up in distance and he was very progressive prior to last time.

Justify colt who was a 2,300,000euros breeze-up purchase as a 2yo; raced only on good/firmer and was a late withdrawal from the Derby this month as the surface was deemed not fast enough; record of 3-4 includes two emphatic wins; held on by half a length from Field Of Gold in the 2,000 Guineas most recently, having got first run on that rival; improving sharply and, with his ceiling probably not yet reached, commands major respect in the rematch.

Recovered from slow start to power clear and win by just over 5l at 4-9 on last month's debut at Sandown (7f, good); the well-beaten placed horses have franked the form since and this 2,300,000euros breeze-up purchase is a hugely exciting prospect for his top connections.
