It was never in much doubt under a prominent ride in winning the Group 3 Acomb at York
4 (4)	Oxagon Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:John & Thady Gosden	J:Oisin Murphy T:John & Thady Gosden	128	—	51	-	113	92	45d	—	—	-15	21.8	0.34/1	11/8 42%
Fifth in a strong maiden on debut before coasting home in front by 8l at Sandown; exciting
2 (1)	Cape Orator b/br J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	128	—	611	97	109	92	30d	—	—	+23	31.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Looks very progressive after impressing in a valuable sales race at Deauville a month ago
5 (3)	Puerto Rico b/br J:Sean Levey T:A P O'Brien	J:Sean Levey T:A P O'Brien	128	—	42224	-	112	106	35d	—	—	+2	9.7	2.75/1	11/1 8%
0-5 but placed in two Group 2s over 6f and stepping up 7f is unlikely to pose any problems

Had subsequent winners behind at Ayr on debut but this is a severe rise in class
