Saturday will be a big day for trainer David Menuisier. When Contrapposto enters the stalls for Saturday's Racing Post Trophy he will become the trainer's first runner in a Group 1.

The colt is one of six two-year-olds that he has in training, whereas Aidan O'Brien - Goliath compared to this David - has six entered in Doncaster's £200,000 event.
