Verdict
Ryan Moore gets the leg up on Intimidate so the latter is presumably expected to improve on a modest debut effort at Leicester. He makes most appeal of the trio with experience but A LADIES MAN is taken to make a winning debut. Richard Hannon's colt cost 220,000gns and an entry in the Racing Post Trophy suggests he's shown plenty of ability at home. He's preferred to stablemate Glean while Altharoos wears his owner's first colours ahead of Muthafar. So Beloved is a half-brother to former stablemate and Group 2 winner Deportivo among others and is also in the Racing Post Trophy along with Another Cocktail, the first foal of a sister to Fame And Glory.
