Bred by clients of James Harron Bloodstock and offered through the draft of Newgate Farm as Lot 585, the colt is out of the French-bred stakes placed mare Suspicieuse (Elusive City) making him a half-brother to the Aquis Farm-based sire Dubious (Not A Single Doubt).

"He's a lovely horse," Magnier said. "The team at Newgate need no introduction, they know how to breed good horses.

"He's a lovely type and we know how good Dubious was.

"Most people had him picked as the sale topper and it looks like he could do that – we are just so delighted to get him.

"We have a great team here at the sales, going around to pick the horses and everyone landed on this horse.

"He will go to Chris Waller and hopefully we have a bit of luck."

Suspicieuse was bought by Sheamus MIlls Bloodstock for €55,000 at the 2013 Arqana December Breeding Stock Sale. She has a weanling filly by Pariah (Redoute's Choice) and was covered by King's Legacy (Redoute's Choice) last November.
