Spyce looks set to be an interesting prospect for Alan King after a fast-finishing second over seven furlongs on debut in the British Stallion Studs EBF Convivial Maiden Stakes at York.

The 280,000 guineas breeze-up buy was in midfield as the Aidan O’Brien-trained Frescobaldi hit the front with two furlongs to go. However, the Too Darn Hot colt produced a smart turn of foot to power his way through the field inside the closing furlong.

Spyce momentarily threatened to snatch the victory before finding the line three-quarters behind the front-running favourite, who had the benefit of two prior outings.
