While Frankel may have retired to a lucrative stud career, his brother Noble Mission aims to keep the family flag flying high in the Dubai Duty Free Finest Surprise Stakes at Newbury.

Trained by Sir Henry Cecil, as was Frankel, Noble Mission has some way to go to emulate even half of his brother's achievements, but he has demonstrated a good deal of ability so far.

He beat subsequent St Leger winner Encke in the Gordon Stakes and has been placed in several other Group races, with connections expecting him to blossom as a four-year-old, starting with a good run in the race better known as the John Porter.
