Saxon Warrior colt who got off the mark comfortably on the fourth time of asking at Roscommon.

He had looked rather raw and still plenty green in his three tries prior but it looked as if the penny firmly dropped last time out and he ground it out well from the front.

If he improves again, he’s certainly a danger to all.

The Foxes

Fourth on debut at Newbury before heading straight into the Chesham at Royal Ascot when quietly fancied by the yard.

He finished ninth of thirteen at Ascot though, but he was firmly back on track last time out when winning what looks a fair maiden at Goodwood, finally fulfilling some of his promise.

He’s clearly a talented individual, but at this stage his form fundamentally doesn’t stack up with the likes of Flying Honours here.

Flying Honours

J: William Buick
T: Charlie Appleby
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-2
OR: 108
Days: 36

Fourth in what’s looking an above average maiden on debut. Flying Honours then took two races on the bounce at Sandown and Salisbury.

He won a novice event at Sandown by 9 lengths before taking the step up in class in his stride at Salisbury when running away with the Listed Stonehenge Stakes by 5 and a half lengths.

He probably has the measure of these already, without factoring in likely improvement.

Dubai Mile

T: Charlie & Mark Johnston
N/A
Age: 2
Weight: 9-2
OR: 90
Days: 31

Roaring Lion colt, who ran a fair fourth on debut at Redcar, before winning two races on the spin upped to a mile at Windsor and Kempton respectively.

His success at Kempton was particularly impressive, pulling 4L clear of what looks a useful type with the field strung out like washing behind.

Dubai Mile has a nice pedigree and good form, but he will need to improve now upped in class.
