1	1,100,000 gns Dubawi colt of a Group 1 winning dam. Built on debut promise when landing 6-runner maiden at Leicester (1¼m) 55 days ago, overcoming the run of the race in the manner of a smart prospect. Likely capable of better again and he's the one to beat under a penalty. 1st Pick 1 Superior Choice Jockey: Shane Foley Trainer: John & Thady Gosden J: Shane Foley T: John & Thady Gosden	100	-	-	-	72%

Sent off a short price but was held back by inexperience when 8½ lengths fifth of 6 to Superior Choice in maiden at Leicester (1¼m, good to firm) on debut 55 days ago.
