Henry Cecil's exciting juvenile Frankel is on course to put his unbeaten record on the line at next week's Ladbrokes St Leger meeting at Doncaster.
The well-related son of Galileo has only been seen once in 2010, winning a hot maiden at Newmarket in eyecatching fashion to leave connections delighted.

He holds a number of Group-race engagements for the remainder of the campaign but Teddy Grimthorpe, racing manager for owner Prince Khalid Abdullah, put forward a conditions race as his next objective.
"Frankel is looking fine. He pleased everyone at Newmarket and he could run at Doncaster next Friday in a conditions race," said Grimthorpe.
"We don't know about the ground yet as it was certainly on the soft side at Newmarket when he won, so he obviously handled that.
"However, he is a nice actioned horse so I don't think the ground would be an issue with him.
"We will have to see how it is at Doncaster, but we are hoping it will be good and then we can discuss where he goes from there."
Frankel is currently 1.50 to win the 2000 Guineas in 2011.
