Chased home the current Derby favourite Benvenuto Cellini on debut at the Curragh; won a maiden at Tipperary before second to Pierre Bonnard in the Zetland Stakes; made the running for Pierre Bonnard at Saint-Cloud before fading; same role in the Ballysax here four weeks ago; proved himself a smart type in his own right, sticking to his task as Pierre Bonnard flopped.

Won a 7f Curragh maiden last June in his only race as a 2yo; never dangerous in 1m2f Group 3 this May but useful form when second in small-field events over 1m2f/1m4f on starts either side (last time 7l behind Thursday's Listed second Endorsement); lightly raced but needs to show something new for a prominent finish on this handicap debut.
