Friday’s French banker of the day is once-raced son of Cracksman who looks sure to be suited by this step up in trip.

Lyon-Parilly – Race 4 - Prix Sarepta

Like It Or Not (Fabrice Chappet/ Ioritz Mendizabal)

A nicely-bred son of Cracksman, Like It Or Not produced a debut performance full of promise at Compiegne last month, keeping on well under pressure without being seriously asked the question to finish a good runner-up.

That effort came over the extended and being by Epsom Derby hero Cracksman out of an Observatory mare, he looks sure to be suited by this step up to a mile and a half.

Trained by Fabrice Chappet, he ought to have derived plenty of experience from that initial outing and with a step forward expected both mentally and physically, this unexposed three-year-old gets a confident vote to go one spot better here under a Classic-winning rider.
