Royal Patronage'swins in the Acomb and Royal Lodge Stakes could hardly have worked out better. His dam Attire, by Danehill Dancer, has already produced Mooresbridge Stakes winner Leo De Fury and the Listed-placed two-year-old Sense Of Style. Perhaps it has been a case of style over substance thus far but he is bred to improve, being by a stamina source in Camelot – a son of Montjeu who can also produce a backend Group 1-winning juvenile, as evidenced by Criterium de Saint-Cloud scorer Wonderment. A Killarney maiden winner in July, he was not seen again until the Beresford Stakes last month – another contest O'Brien has farmed – when he made a big impression with a near five-length win. The good-looking colt was bred by Ben Sangster and cost a relatively modest 150,000gns from Tattersalls Book 1 when selling to MV Magnier, but it is on the track where he has done plenty of talking.
