1/6
Had wind surgery after being a beaten favourite on debut at Kempton in April. Didn't need to be as good as that when scoring at odds-on at Newmarket last time. Should be more to come and he can make a good attempt at defying a penalty.

£28,000 yearling. Half-brother to 7f-1m2f winner Warfare. Dam placed full-sister to useful 1m2f-1m5f (Listed handicap) winner Flossy and hurdle winner Florentino. Stable's three-year-olds 14% this season, though a bit quiet at present. Market check.

Two modest efforts so far suggest that he will have to wait for other days, and particularly when going handicapping.

Full-brother to 7f-1m winner Amazing Maria (inc at two/Group 1), closely related to 7f-1m winner Constantino, half-brother to 1m AW winner Madame Butterfly. Dam 6f AW winner at two. Stable in decent form and could make a nice debut.

16L third on debut in a Ripon maiden over this trip last month. Needs to take a significant step up on that to get involved this time.

Well held in all three starts over 1m2f-1m4f. Drops in trip here, but looks in need of a handicap mark to work with.

Forecasts

Verdict

It looks as though Godolphin have spotted a good opportunity for MAJOR PARTNERSHIP to secure another win, despite shouldering a penalty here. Even though his success was, on paper, not as good as his debut run, he still won like a colt who looked as though there would be more in the locker. Thiobraid Arann is the pick of the remainder to have raced, but newcomers Billy Ruskin and Kingdom Brunel are both worth noting in the market, and neither is dismissed.
