Tattersalls Online Royal Lodge Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings)

Close relative of dual Derby winner Lambourn; the form of his Galway win (extended 1m, good to yielding) has taken some knocks but this Frankel colt is a sizeable unit and looks sure to progress with his racing; one of two runners for Aidan O'Brien who had seven entered at the five-day stage.

1,100,000gns Frankel colt; has been more workmanlike than flashy in winning his novices at Beverley and Goodwood (1m; both on good to firm) but there's no knocking an unbeaten start and he might be the type who only does enough in his races (reportedly a lazy worker at home); has to improve at this level but that's very feasible.

Both runs over 1m on good ground; impressive when making light work of a subsequent winner at Newbury and was nicely on top at the finish when having to dig deeper to secure a Listed race at Haydock (runner-up well regarded in a top yard); reportedly thrilled his connections in a recent gallop.

Looked good on his debut and confirmed that promise with an easy win at Listed level (Naas; 1m, good); relinquished his unbeaten record when odds-on for a Group 3 at Deauville but the drop back to 7f probably didn't help, nor being isolated from the two who beat him; big colt who retains significant potential for 1m+.

The Chesham winner (good to firm) who didn't look at home on the undulations of Goodwood when beaten for the first time in a strong edition of the Group 2 Vintage Stakes; got himself firmly back on track when perhaps unfortunate not to have won Sandown's Group 3 Solario Stakes having been bumped quite severely late on; leads the way on Topspeed/RPR figures and promises to be even better at 1m.
