Very solid performer at this sort of level, decisively landing the Group 3 Meld Stakes at Leopardstown in July; good second to the subsequent St Leger runner-up in the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood, before a below-par run at York; sets a good standard and sure to be hard to beat.

3yo who has got better with each run this season and impressed in the Group 3 Meld at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) last month before finishing second in the Group 3 Gordon at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) under a 3lb penalty (same today); runner-up in a Group 2 on yielding to soft last September; this versatile sort could be in the mix back down in trip.

Ran in two Group 2s as 2yo and progressive at Listed/Group 3 levels this season, winning well at Leopardstown (1m1f, good) two weeks ago when he reverted to front-running; probably stayed 1m2f on penultimate start, without shouting that he's a 1m4f horse.

Smart 2yo was a close fourth to Pierre Bonnard in a 1m2f Group 1; however, he has shown his best form over shorter this term, winning a Navan Listed race over 1m1f before a better effort when taking the Group 3 Desmond Stakes over C&D; looks the pick of his yard's trio so respected.

Two starts at Royal Ascot have yielded a win in the 2023 Chesham (7f) and cracking second of 23 in the Kensington Palace (1m, also good to firm) last year; won four-runner Leopardstown Group 3 (1m1f, good) the following month and there was plenty of encouragement when third in 7f Group 3 back there on last month's return; no surprise if she raises her game once more back at her favourite fixture.
