He may not have the most glamorous name in racing but Fat Boy can take the feature race at Ripon today, the Champion Two Yrs Old Trophy.
Richard Hannon's juvenile started his career in great style with a victory on his debut at Kempton, becoming one of the first winners for his brilliant sire Choisir in Britain in the process.
However, after that, even though he was highly-tried it looked as if he was just a precocious type and that the rest of his age group had caught up with him.
But he bounced back to form with a win at Newmarket in a conditions race, comfortably beating Gimcrack winner Sir Gerry, among others.
He than ran what was probably the race of his life so far to finish second to Strike The Deal in the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood and a reproduction of that effort should be enough to take the pot in what looks a disappointing renewal.
Ragheed is a three-year-old going places and he must take all the beating in the Ripon Rowels Handicap.
William Haggas' charge had looked a soft ground performer in his two previous wins but his victory over the reliable Hartshead by three lengths on firm ground at Redcar proves he can handle quicker surfaces.
He is shooting up the handicap but this well-bred son of Rahy does not look as if he has stopped improving yet.
Hannon's Galeota looks to have returned from an aborted spell at stud in great heart and can notch up another victory in the Betfair Conditions Stakes at Warwick.
His first start back following a near two-year break saw him finish finish second over six furlongs, he then bolted up over five and tries seven here.
But he can count a victory over Group One winner Goodricke at this trip so it is certainly not a problem and he is likely to take all the beating.
Former Derby winning-jockey turned trainer Walter Swinburn sponsors the card at Kempton and nobody would deny him a winner with Viking Spirit.
Seemingly unlucky on more than one occasion this season, the five-year-old looks a solid selection in the Live The Dream With Walter Swinburn Handicap.
Godolphin's two-year-old's tend to improve for the run and Craigstown can land the EBF Maiden Stakes at Newcastle.
