PHERENIKOS (IRE) (Shamardal) is a half-brother to this year's 2000 Guineas and St James's Palace S. hero Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}) who was such a big loss to Godolphin, Charlie Appleby and to racing in general when suffering his life-ending injury last month. One of the last of the Shamardals, the relative of another high-class Godolphin stalwart in Thunder Snow (Ire) (Helmet {Aus}) faces a tough task on debut opposed by the Gosdens' well-regarded Alzahir (Fr) (Sea The Stars {Ire}), not seen since disappointing when too free in the Listed Chesham S. at Royal Ascot.
