SHALAA and Lumiere are undoubtedly among the best of their age and sexes, but their respective timefigures were matched in the last week by fellow juvenile winners Foundation and Promising Run.

Foundation’s 113 timefigure shows he is an above-average winner of the Royal Lodge Stakes, and he and runner-up Deauville (whose 112 is the best by an Irish-trained youngster this year) should rate a few pounds higher judged on their quicker-than-par finishes.
