Siyouni colt; first out of a Listed-placed 5f 2yo winner, half-sister to Racing Post Trophy and 2,000 Guineas winner Saxon Warrior, out of Moyglare Stud Stakes winner Maybe, family of Derby winner Dr Devious; stable outsider of three on debut over 6f here last June, noted staying on; likely to be a big player here if he has progressed satisfactorily.

Lightly raced 3yo won Curragh maiden on soft-to-heavy in March and much better form on second of two outings since September return, staying on fourth (beaten 5.5l) behind King Cuan in Curragh Listed (soft); step up to 1m could now bring further improvement.

Lightly raced 3yo won C&D maiden on soft-to-heavy in March but wasn't seen until fair fourth in C&D rated contest eight days ago, challenge flattening out late on; entitled to come on for that but lots more needed on what we've seen so far.

Stable outsider of three on debut over 6f here on only start at two; out early to win a C&D maiden in testing conditions; a little concerning that he has not run since then, though clearly he can go well when fresh.

Rewarded for a string of consistent efforts with a win at Limerick on latest (7f, soft) off 5lb lower; closely matched with Invincible Will on Curragh running in May; looks progressive and should go well again but majority of form on easier ground than this.

Form & Verdict
Ran creditably in two valuable conditions races last season, tenth of 30 over C&D in the Goffs Million and fifth in a Naas event; ended the season with a run at Group 3 level in the 1m1f Eyrefield Stakes at Leopardstown, appeared not to stay; first time in a maiden now; official rating of 95 may flatter him, but he could be good enough here; tongue-tie on.
