Devil's Advocate (GB)

350,000gns Y; third foal; half-brother to 7.7f-1m2f winner Inquiring Minds (inc AW/Australia; RPR 95); dam 1m-1m6f winner (inc 2yo/AW/Group 3; 104), sister to 1m4f winners Jane Marple and Tamilla, closely related to useful 8.6f winner Vanity Rules. Won on second start as a 2yo over 1m2f and wasn't seen then until a respectable effort in a Listed event at Epsom 187 days later. Improved on that, aided by first-time cheekpieces, when fourth in the Group 2 Dante Stakes at York in May 2025 but didn't stay 1m6f in the Queen's Vase. Having been gelded dropped back in trip to 1m2f when finishing fourth but was well held in a Group 3 at Windsor, before winning on handicap debut at Doncaster over the same trip in September. Posted a very respectable effort when pace-making for Ombudsman in the Group 1 British Champion Stakes at Ascot latest.
