Item made a winning debut as a juvenile, running on well to score in a seven-furlong maiden at Kempton Park. Less than a month later, he backed this up with another win, this time over a mile in a Bath Novice race.
He made his first appearance as a three-year-old at York's Dante meeting in May. He forged ahead in the closing stages of the Gr.2 Dante Stakes to win by an impressive two and three quarter lengths, maintaining his unbeaten streak.
He is the third foal out of Gr.1-winning Lope De Vega mare Capla Temptress and is a half-brother to Stakes-winning Kingman filly Temptable.
