Showcasing shaped with bags of promise when second at Newbury on debut June 11 and confirmed that potential with a pillar-to-post score in emphatic style here. Out sharply to seize instant control, the 4-11 favorite moved sweetly throughout this test. Shaken up inside the final quarter-mile, the bay quickened clear approaching the final furlong and was geared down in the closing stages to account for Cansili Star (GB) (Dansili {GB}) by an impressive 3 1/2 lengths. The homebred is a half-brother to Camacho (GB) (Danehill), SW & GSP-Eng. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, £5,326.
