    Debut maiden winner; lost out by only a short head to Christmas Day in the 1m1f Eyrefield Stakes here in October on his fourth start; built on that when 2l second to Pierre Bonnard at Saint-Cloud; does not need to improve much to win a Pattern race; solid chance here.

    Won easily on debut at Killarney (1m, soft); has come up short in Group 2s the last twice at the Curragh (7f, good) and here (1m, gd-yld); drops in grade and steps up in trip; rating of 99 may flatter him but could bounce back if ground is soft.

    Starspangledbanner half-brother to winners Seagolazo (7f 2yo; RPR 97) and Zephina (6f AW 2yo; 76); unraced dam is out of half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Mehmas; made fine impression on Killarney debut, quickening well off a steady pace in 1m auction event on soft ground, didn't progress as much as expected in Group 2 Futurity at the Curragh, keen enough and outpaced over shorter trip when beaten 7l on good; return to 1m and softer ground could see improvement.

    Starspangledbanner half-brother to winners Seagolazo (7f 2yo; RPR 97) and Zephina (6f AW 2yo; 76); unraced dam is out of half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Mehmas; strapping colt made a fine impression on Killarney debut conceding weight all-round, quickening well off a steady pace in 1m auction event; drop in trip no problem and could well hold his own in this better company.

    Starspangledbanner half-brother to winners Seagolazo (7f 2yo; RPR 97) and Zephina (6f AW 2yo; 76); unraced dam closely related to 1m1f winner Parvana, half-sister to 6f 2yo Group 2 winner Mehmas; National Stakes entry has to be worth a market watch.
