Found his feet properly this season for the first time when 2l third in Irish Derby at the Curragh (1m4f, good) in June, producing clearly his best effort overall as he rallied well to finish just a neck behind runner-up Christmas Day; received 5lb from the first and third (Christmas Day) when runner-up in the Great Voltigeur at York last time; half-sister Crepe Suzette was a good third in C&D Park Hill at this meeting last year; good chance he will stay and at least be placed again.

Looked every inch a serious Derby prospect last term, which he failed to confirm behind two of these in the mud at Epsom this June but the Irish Derby at the Curragh (1m4f, good) three weeks later addressed the doubts when he rallied well to finish just a neck behind runner-up Christmas Day; as he receives 5lb today from that rival and from Maltese Cross, that career-best performance puts him clear top on form.

Asserted late on to finish firmly on top last October in two 1m2f Pattern events, the Group 3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (good to firm) and Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (very soft); 3yo campaign got off to a low-key start behind Christmas Day in the Ballysax at Leopardstown; much more like it when second to James J Braddock in the Derby Trial at the same venue; jury is out following a short-lived Derby challenge.

J: Christophe Soumillon

T: A P O’Brien

Asserted late on to finish firmly on top last October in a Group 3 at Newmarket (good to firm) and Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (very soft) and they were over 1m2f; 3yo campaign got off to a muted start but he briefly hit the front in Derby Trial at Leopardstown before James J Braddock swooped and Aidan O'Brien has stressed that he went gently with him at home until after that race; his sire and dam's sire were Derby winners (dam won 1m2f Group 1 Nassau) and he now moves up from 1m2f; he looked every inch a serious Derby contender last term and that's probably still the impression to go with.

9st 5lb

J: Wayne Lordan

T: A P O’Brien

Beat Shaihann in a 1m Dundalk maiden last August; looked smart on his final two juvenile starts; asserted strongly when beating stablemate Endorsement in the Zetland Stakes (1m2f, good to firm); readily beat A Boy Named Susie on very soft ground in the Criterium de Saint-Cloud; now needs to rebuild his reputation after tame eclipse in the Ballysax
