Dundonnell created a strong impression by landing the Pinsent Masons LLP Acomb Stakes at York.
The 15-8 favourite cruised into the lead under James Doyle after Afonso De Sousa had made the running. The Roger Charlton-trained colt looked like coasting home, but veered towards the far side of the track, allowing Steeler to get to within three-quarters of a length. Afonso De Sousa was third.
Doyle said: "I was delighted with him. He's still very babyish, but he's helped me out there as the Aidan O'Brien horse (Afonso De Sousa) skipped away from us. I found myself in front too soon, but he's got a lot of gears."

Even with the extra 2 furlongs, the bookies are still taking no chances. Will St Nicholas Abbey take the honours if Frankel fails too last home.

Yes l just cannot see him getting beat because on his breeding he should have no problems staying the ten furlongs.
