WILL SCARLET (GB) (Masar {Ire}) is a surprisingly early juvenile starter, given that he is by the Derby hero out of the track's G1 Prix de l'Opera heroine Lady Marian (Ger) (Nayef), so Godolphin's February-foaled bay must have shown Andre Fabre something to suggest he is more precocious than his pedigree suggests. One of eight in the line-up, he is also a half-brother to the operation's G2 Grand Prix de Deauville and G2 Dubai City Of Gold winner Loxley (Ire) by Masar's sire New Approach (Ire) whose own career began in the October of his 2-year-old season.
