THREAT is clearly a very talented juvenile who simply keeps on improving with racing, and few could begrudge him a deserving day in the limelight at York (Gimcrack Stakes winner). Carrying a 3lb penalty, he undoubtedly has more on his plate today, although both pedigree and the manner of his York success offer confidence that he'll continue to prosper over this longer trip. The Newmarket scorer Royal Crusade has untapped potential for Godolphin, while Frankel colt Juan Elcano has done nothing other than impress so far.
