Only fourth when 4-5 favourite for his recent debut over 7f here (good to soft) but there was still plenty of promise in that performance, and this brother to connections' Derby winner Adayar is open to improvement now up in trip; leading claims.

All of his career wins have come on the AW, most recently in the Listed Magnolia Stakes at Kempton 18 months ago before narrow defeats in Group 3s at Haydock and Windsor; not seen since third in a 1m2f Group 2 in Bahrain 10 months ago and a good opportunity has been found; trainer won this race in 2014 with his only other runner at this venue.

Record of 5-13 and his last two wins were in Group 3 at Southwell (1m3f) last January and a Listed event at Kempton (1m2f) this spring; ran into some trouble when creditable sixth of 16 in Listed Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) and he was only narrowly denied back in a Group 3 at Haydock two weeks ago; was as good as ever with that bold bid and he's the standout contender in this line-up.

Best turf form when just over 2l sixth of 16 in Listed race at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) latest start, a race which Haatem won but this 5yo gave him 3lb and eventually ran on well after trouble in running; on that evidence there's not much between them and they are leading contenders.

First foal; dam French 1m4f winner, half-sister to three Italian Group 1 winners (1m2f/1m4f); interesting to see how this newcomer goes in the betting compared to once-raced stablemate Military Order, although that one may be the yard's chief hope with William Buick on board.
