J: Seamie Heffernan

T: J A Stack

Chesham Stakes runner-up and Listed winner at Tipperary before a respectable effort in a 1m Canadian Grade 1 on final 2yo start; won going away from Power Blue (gave 3lb) in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; pulled very hard in the 2,000 Guineas; fifth was a decent outcome in the circumstances; can make his presence felt if settling better.

9st 2lb

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: J A Stack

Irish colt who has built up a solid record that includes a good effort in Canadian Grade 1 on final 2yo start (sole 1m attempt); won going away from Power Blue, who conceded 3lb, in Group 3 at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance; could go well but several others bring stronger claims in terms of class and/or potential.

9st 5lb

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: J A Stack

Chesham Stakes runner-up; not disgraced in a Grade 1 in Canada in September after beating good yardstick Brussels in a Listed race at Tipperary; easy ground is a concern based on his failure to land short odds at Ayr in July.

9st 5lb

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: J A Stack

St Mark's Basilica colt is a maiden but has run well in defeat, including when a 1l second of nine in the listed Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot (7f, gd-fm); too keen when beaten into second at short odds in an Ayr maiden on latest; looks the main danger to Brussels.

9st 7lb

J: Seamie Heffernan

T: J A Stack

Collared late on by the Group 2 Superlative Stakes runner-up Italy on debut (good) and went close again in the Listed Chesham at Royal Ascot (good to firm); sets the standard by clear daylight and should win.
