The impeccably-bred and unbeaten Darain faces a step up in distance and class in Wednesday's Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes at York.
Qatar Racing's David Redvers went to 3.5million guineas to secure the colt's services as a yearling. He is now jointly owned by Sheikh Fahad's operation and Lord and Lady Lloyd-Webber's Watership Down Stud, where he was foaled.
That hefty price tag was largely down to the fact he is a son of Dubawi out of the top-class racemare Dar Re Mi, making him a full-brother to a trio of top-notch performers in Too Darn Hot, So Mi Dar and Lah Ti Dar.
Darain has certainly upheld family honour thus far, with an impressive debut victory at Newbury supplemented by a dominant display at Newmarket little over a fortnight later.
John Gosden's charge faces a far sterner test as he goes in search of a hat-trick on the Knavesmire, but his potential is huge.
"I think we would have ideally liked to run แทงบาคาร่าขั้นต่ำ over 10 furlongs again, but there wasn't really a suitable race, so we're going to try 12," said Redvers.
"We are guided by what Mr Gosden wants to do. I think we're all very excited to see him run and we'll have a better idea of where he fits in afterwards.
