Pinatubo is a seriously talented two-year-old. Following his National Stakes success he now sits well clear at the head of this year's two-year-old division with a Racing Post Rating of 128 and the world at his feet.

To put that into perspective, Pinatubo has achieved a higher rating than Frankel did as a two-year-old, and posted the best-ever juvenile performance in Ireland.

Only Arazi and Celtic Swing have recorded superior RPRs in their first year racing and in Pinatubo we are dealing with an exceptionally gifted young horse who is nailed on to be this year's champion two-year-old.
