THE three-year-old male mile division is not exactly a picture of marvellous clarity, but in Without Parole we have a colt who could well stamp his authority on it.

Many might argue that he already has, for he had the one-two in the Irish 2000 Guineas (Romanised and U S Navy Flag) and the runner-up in the Newmarket equivalent (Tip Two Win) comfortably in arrears when winning the St James’s Palace Stakes on the opening day of Royal Ascot.
