Treble Tee could have a bright future having started his career in exemplary fashion at Newmarket on Wednesday.
Trained by Simon and Ed Crisford, the son of Persian King was well found in the market at 100-30 prior to his debut in the Aston Martin Novice Stakes.
Always prominent in the hands of James Doyle, the youngster bounded clear of the John and Thady Gosden-trained Mudbir in the closing stages to earn quotes of 33-1 with Paddy Power for next May’s 2000 Guineas.
“It looked like a hot race beforehand and he did it well,” said Ed Crisford. “He travelled well, picked up nicely and did everything you want to see first time out.
“First-time out I hate being drawn on the wing because you have always got that disadvantage and they don’t race amongst horses. The way he was travelling I was always quite pleased.
“He quickened away nicely and put the race to bed and he’s one for the future. He will be put away and see how he winters and take it from there really. Winning like that he has lots of options and I think he will get further in time.
“You win these maidens and it is all what it is all about, to look forward to the future.”
There was a double for Doyle when he steered Tremorgio to victory for old boss Charlie Appleby in the Boodles Maiden Stakes.
The Wathnan Racing number one was back in the royal blue of Godolphin as the 9-1 shot enhanced the Moulton Paddock handler’s fine record in a race, with better-fancied stablemate and 15-8 favourite Arabian Poet only fourth.
Appleby said: “He is very raw. It is unusual for us to start one off over 10 furlongs, but it’s just going on what he has showed us at home.
“Had we started him off a mile he might have founding it all happening too soon, but to be fair to James, he said once he hit the rising ground he wasn’t coming back underneath him and kept galloping out.
“He is what he’s going to be – a mile-and-a-half or mile-and-six progressive handicapper.
“He’s gelded and got cheekpieces and without stating the obvious it does tell you what we’ve seen at home, but we have seen enough to come up here and run in a Newmarket maiden so you take nothing away from him, he’s done what he’s been asked to.”
