The well-bred PURE GRIT knew his job and offered plenty to work on when second in a Newbury maiden 2 weeks ago and, with progress firmly anticipated, Andrew Balding's colt looks to have plenty going for him. There are several interesting ones in opposition, headed up by This Moment, Blake's Monarch and Caturra Lights. Virtuous Star is a newcomer to note in the betting.
