Brother to Bluebeard (Prix Morny and Middle Park); only fourth of seven when 4-6 for his Curragh debut (5f, good) last April; made handsome amends with wins in a C&D maiden (soft), a four-runner Naas conditions event (5f good) and the Norfolk Stakes, at the main expense of Middle Park winner Wise Approach; top-class sprinting prospect, reportedly in good shape.

Beaten on debut at Cork before going the rest of the season unbeaten; landed a Navan maiden (6f, soft), a four-runner conditions event here (5f, good) and ultimately the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm); workmanlike when justifying short odds at Navan on seasonal return (6f, good to yielding) and there is likely improvement to come; holds Group 1 entries for Ascot.

Brother to three winners including the Prix Morny and Middle Park winner Blackbeard; only fourth of seven when sent off 4-6 for his Curragh debut (5f, good) in April, but has since made all to win easily in a Navan maiden (5.8f, soft; 8-11) and a four-runner conditions event at Naas (5f, good; 1-14); he wouldn't be certain to get his own way in front again, but a major player nonetheless; stable has won this three times, the latest in 2017; entered in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes.

J: Shane Foley

T: Mrs John Harrington

Winner of her sole start last year at Navan (6f, yielding); disputing second in a Navan Listed contest before fading late into fourth (6f, good to yielding); plausible improvement to come from that first run back and was just 1.75l behind the winner Charles Darwin, although worse off at the weights now.
