High Peak (Ire) (Fascinating Rock {Ire}) shaped with a deal of promise when second in his June 4 debut over six furlongs at Newcastle and duly delivered as the odds-on favourite to become the first winner for his Ballylinch Stud-based freshman sire (by Fastnet Rock {Aus}) upped to seven in Tuesday’s Join Racing TV Now Novice Median Auction S. at Thirsk. Breaking sharply to seize the rail and an immediate lead, the 5-6 pick was untroubled on the front end throughout and kept on strongly once shaken up with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining to easily hold the late thrust of Deputy (Ire) (Lawman {Fr}) by 3/4-of-a-length.
