The 2-year-old will be saddled by Ralph Beckett, a trainer whose Kimpton yard in Hampshire has already sent out 107 winners this season. Beckett has built a reputation for bringing two-year-olds to the track well prepared, and the fact that Divide And Conquer is ready to race now suggests the horse has shown enough at home to justify the trip. With no previous form to go on, there is nothing to disappoint—just pure potential and the kind of genetic credentials that make a debut worth watching.
