This beautifully bred son of Cape Cross was certainly not bred to be a precocious sort and not surprisingly spent most of last season growing and developing into his significant frame. He is a very impressive specimen but was too weak to make his debut as a two year old. He really is the most beautiful horse who stands over plenty of ground and looks the type who will go on improving throughout the season.

Ritual won his maiden well at Leicester on 21st July despite showing signs of greenness. This imposing son of Cape Cross raced a shade freely early on before Paul Hanagan settled him just in behind the leaders. He sent him on two furlongs from home and, despite wandering around in front, stuck to this task well and was going away at the line. We will see what mark the handicapper gives before before deciding where to go next but this looks to be a horse with plenty of improvement in him and one who will only reach his full potential as a four year old.
