Dante runner-up and Classic contender Action could add a touch of class to the juvenile hurdling division having joined Faye Bramley.

The son of Frankel, who was second in the Group One Futurity Trophy has a two-year-old, reached a peak rating of 115 while in training with Aidan O'Brien and having chased home Item in York's pre-eminent Derby trial would go on to run at Epsom, the Curragh in the Irish Derby and in the St Leger among a host of top-level assignments.

He has now swapped Ballydoyle for the Berkshire yard owned by Sir Anthony McCoy from which Bramley trains.

The trainer told the Press Association: “Everyone knows who he is and what he is and hopefully I can get him schooled up and see how he goes.

“I haven't done anything with him yet, but it's great to have him and when he arrived we were all like ‘wow'.

“We're letting him just settle in at the minute as he's had a hard year running in plenty of big races. Hopefully I can get him freshened up and jumping.”

Also transferring to Bramley is St Paul's Cathedral, a son of St Mark's Basilica who was unraced for O'Brien during his time in Tipperary but is causing some excitement for his new handler.

Bramley added: “I've also got another horse who came with him called St Paul's Cathedral. He's never run, but I adore him and if I'm putting it out there, I'm hoping he could be something special.”
