Form & Verdict
Won six of his first seven outings and was running well in Group company after returning in the spring, including when second of seven in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in June; ran poorly when last of six in a Group 2 at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in July (reportedly stopped quickly) but strong claims if bouncing back; 2-2 on AW and his stable has taken four of the last seven runnings.

Has come up well short on his three attempts in Group 1 races; however, 1m4f appeared to stretch him in the Dubai Sheema Classic in March last time, when he ran well for a very long way, and he looked better than ever when easily winning a Group 3 in Saudi Arabia (10.5f, good to firm) in February; not ruled out now back down in trip.

Won twice at Group 2 level over 1m2f on a soft surface in France last year and finished runner-up in the Group 1 Qipco Champion Stakes at Ascot (1m2f, good to soft) in October; beaten a nose on his return from four months off in a Group 2 at York (1m2f, good to firm) in July and ran as well as could be expected when fourth of six behind Baaeed in the Group 1 Juddmonte International over the same C&D (good) last month; AW debut, but respected if handling the conditions for last year's winning stable.

Started his campaign with a 1m2f Listed success on Kempton's Polytrack and struck for the third time at Group 1 level in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud (1m4f) in June; another good effort in top company on the continent when second at Baden-Baden (1m4f) in September; Group 1 penalty to shoulder but a potential cut above.

Form & Verdict
Dual Listed winner over this trip on turf in 2020, but missed 2021; seems to have retained his ability judged by his second of five in a Group 3 at Newbury (1m5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and he handled the AW well at the start of his career, but this still looks a tough ask.

Landed the Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (1m2f, heavy) as a 2yo and gained his biggest success since then when beating a stablemate by a neck in a Group 3 at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) last month; makes his AW debut, but is closely related to a dual Polytrack winner; stable 3-11 here; a player.

Triple Group-race winner since the cheekpieces went on; made a successful return in a four-runner Group 2 at Chester (1m2f, good) in May, but didn't get home having attempted to make all in his first go at 1m4f when fourth of seven in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot (good to firm) in June, finishing 3l behind Mostahdaf; no problem with the return to the AW (2-4), but still has a question mark over his stamina.

Cast-iron stayer who nearly always gives his running and after solid efforts at Chester (2m2f, soft) and Royal Ascot (2m4f, good) he bagged last month's Northumberland Plate (2m AW) by half a length; won this two years ago and later that campaign nearly won the November Handicap off this very mark; no ground preferences; hard to knock.
