Highly progressive colt; record is 3-5; the type to make his mark at Listed/Group level

4 (4)	Naqeeb Bay J:Ryan Sexton T:Julie Camacho	J:Ryan Sexton T:Julie Camacho	130	—	653828	105	121	107	33d	—	—	+15	19.2	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Placed in Glorious Goodwood handicap on penultimate outing; this seems a harder task
11 (3)	Treasure Grey J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	J:Hector Crouch T:Ralph Beckett	125	b	29-206	95	118	97	18d	—	—	+10	11.8	16.50/1	66/1 1%
