Racing: Johnny Murtagh clocked up his 19th Group One success of the season and Bushranger his second as the pair took top honours in the Shadwell Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket.
David Wachman's colt has displayed top-class form all through the year and landed the Prix Morny in Deauville last time out.
On the back of that effort he was sent off the 15-8 favourite under Murtagh, who initially elected to race in a group of three down the centre of the course.
The trio tracked over to join the main body of runners passing the three-furlong pole and it was soon after that Murtagh asked the Irish raider to go about his business.
Bushranger sized up to Peter Chapple-Hyam's Sayif approaching the distance in the six-furlong heat and soon edged clear to secure a Group One double by a length and a quarter.
Wachman believes the Coolmore Stud-owned son of Danetime will have no problem staying further, and his charge was given a 16-1 quote from the sponsors to become the first horse since Rodrigo De Triano in 1992 to follow up in the Guineas.
Wachman said: "He won very easily and is getting better as the year goes on.
"He is in all sorts of races and the owners have a lot of horses so we will have to see where we go.
"He stays well and has plenty of options. He could come back here for the Dewhurst, America for the Breeders' Cup is a possibility but we'll have to see what fits in but he has now won two Group Ones."
Murtagh added: "He's certainly going the right way and I'm learning about him all the time.
"He's a very strong two-year-old, he knows his job well and the lads have done a great job with him."
Sayif is becoming something of a bridesmaid in finishing in the frame for the fifth time in as many starts.
Chapple-Hyam said: "He just gets better every time. He's run a great race but take nothing away from the winner, who's already won a Group One.
"I don't think he'll run again this year as he likes fast ground."
Back in third was Huntdown, whose trainer John Gosden said: "I'm delighted with him. We'll now train him for the Dewhurst as he wants seven furlongs."
