Pintaubo colt who cost €230,000 as a yearling. Encouragement second-placed finishes on both starts to date, knowing his job at Newmarket on debut and losing out only to a potentially-useful rival at C&D 64 days ago. Hard to oppose.

Age: 2|  Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: R M Beckett
Ten Sovereigns colt was a promising third of 10 in maiden at Kempton (6f) on debut but seemed unsuited by the emphasis on speed when eighth of 12 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 5/1) 20 days ago. Remains open to progress but other tracks may suit better.

Forecasts

Pure Grit (4/9), Shakwaa (5/2), Sovereigns High (7/1), Therewearethen (100/1), Independent Roze (200/1)

Verdict

PURE GRIT sets the standard and can go one better than on his two previous outings. Fellow expensive yearling Shakwaa rates as the likeliest danger.

  1. Pure Grit2/5
  2. Shakwaa9/4
  3. Sovereigns High7/1
