Ideally bred for Europe's first six-furlong juvenile contest of the year, the well-backed 9-4 joint favorite Warsaw did not disappoint, posting a taking win at first attempt. Out swiftly to bag a prominent position along the rail, the 250,000gns TATOCT yearling remained to the fore throughout. Encouraged to an outright lead in early stretch, the flashy chestnut responded willingly to Seamus Heffernan's sympathetic urging inside the final quarter mile and was always holding the ominous threat of the more experienced Irish Jig (Ire) (Celtic Swing {GB}) to score by a neck. “He was a bit green, but he will come on a good bit for the run,” commented trainer Aidan O'Brien. “Dropping him back to five [furlongs] wouldn't be a problem either.” Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, Eu13,020.
