Action
Closely related to 2025 Derby winner Lambourn; carries his head high but ended last season with a close, battling second in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, heavy) and front-running second in the Dante at York (10.2f, good) last month was of a similar order, albeit no match for Item in the final 1f; a disappointing, sluggish display on reappearance was his only start with tongue tied; likely to stay 1m4f, with a possible place role but it's unlikely to be more unless the new cheekpieces have a major positive effect.

From the connections
“Action is quite a big horse, he stays well and ideally I would have loved to have gone a stride quicker but he was having such a look in front I was letting him find his feet and get comfortable. I thought the last 50 yards he hit the line well. He is going to learn plenty from today - Wayne Lordan, jockey, speaking to Racing TV.”
