EMBESTO developed into a smart performer as a 3-y-o, dead-heating for success in a Group 3 at Salisbury, and he can resume his progress after a slow start left him on the back foot at Newmarket on his reappearance. With a hood added, he is taken to get the better of last year's one-two in the race, with Highland Avenue feared most ahead of Regal Reality.
