Two from two last year, both starts over 7f at Doncaster, latest in Listed grade (on good ground) when collaring Hankelow on the line despite still seeming green; may have plenty of further progress in him, especially over this extra furlong; one of the main players.

Betway Craven Stakes (Colts & Geldings)
Took keen hold - in rear - bit short of room under 2f out - soon headway - no chance with winner but kept on and went second towards finish(op 6/1 tchd 5/1)
George Prior Memorial EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
Prominent - pushed along over 2f out - kept on against near rail from over 1f out - ridden when pressed leader inside final furlong - led final 110yds - carried head high but ran on well towards finish - won going away(op Evens tchd 11/10)
Record of 2-7 and broadly consistent last term; creditable second in last three starts, including in 7f Group 3 at Newmarket; however, his ceiling is seemingly already known and, unlike all of today's rivals, he doesn't have a 2,000 Guineas entry.

Betway Craven Stakes (Colts & Geldings)
Soon raced in second - lost second 2f out - soon weakened gradually - eased towards finish(tchd 14/1 and tchd 18/1)
Towards rear - pushed along over 2 1/2f out - ridden and progress on outer over 1 1/2f out - ran on into second inside final furlong - not pace to challenge winner
Night Of Thunder colt who nearly went 3-3 last season, the sole defeat when nabbed by Avicenna on the line at Doncaster; justified favouritism in the Autumn Stakes over C&D (good to firm; Group 3) next time, making all; progressive and holds solid claims.

Emirates Autumn Stakes
Made all - edged left from over 1f out - soon ridden - kept on well(op 11/4)
Made all and did enough to beat two stablemates in the Futurity at Doncaster (heavy; Group 1) to complete a 1m hat-trick and take record to 3-4; may ideally need further this year, especially when the ground isn't testing; otherwise the form pick and an improving Ballydoyle colt to boot.

William Hill Futurity Trophy Stakes (No Geldings)
Ducked right start - made virtually all - pushed along 2f out - ridden and wandered around inside final furlong - kept on well - always doing enough(op 7/2 tchd 10/3 and tchd 4/1)
Frankel colt who is two from two, namely AW wins at Kempton, last time comfortably beating Venetian Prince in 1m conditions race that his yard landed in 2024 and 2025 with subsequent Group 1 scorers (including 2,000 Guineas); the signs look very good for this highly promising sort.

Betway Craven Stakes (Colts & Geldings)
Took keen hold - soon raced in third - went second 2f out - no extra when lost second towards finish(op Evens tchd 10/11 and tchd 5/4)
Unsuited by heavy ground in the Futurity on final 2yo start; steadily progressive otherwise, and ran well in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster and Dewhurst at Newmarket; however, chance of opening his Group account largely depends on the effects of first-time headgear.

Newmarket
Betway Craven Stakes (Colts & Geldings)
Made virtually all - pushed along and went clear under 2f out - kept on well final furlong - comfortably(op 9/4)
Took keen hold - prominent - weakened quickly over 2f out (trainer's rep said - regarding the poor form shown - that gelding was unsuited by the going - which was officially described as heavy on this occasion - and would prefer a quicker surface - which was noted; vet had nothing to report)(op 7/2 tchd 5/2)
Scored at Newbury when last seen on turf; looked flattered to finished just under 2l behind Hidden Force, who had something in hand, at Kempton most recently and is unlikely to reverse the placings; however, bred to do better still and may produce another good effort.
