Five-time winner; generally very dependable last season, finishing with an emphatic Listed win at the Curragh (beat Big Gossey by 3 3/4l) following a creditable fifth of 18 in the Abbaye at Longchamp; made much of the running before weakening into fifth behind Tenebrism on seasonal debut in 6f Listed race at Cork.

Former Flying Five winner reached a peak rating of 114 before losing his form in the latter half of 2024; missed all of last season; return in a C&D Listed contest last time was not totally devoid of promise when 4.75l behind Mission Central; may build on that.

Marvelous veteran showed he retained all his ability when winning for the eleventh time in the Listed Gladness Stakes at the Curragh (7f, sft-hvy) a month ago; however, has come up short in the last three renewals of this race and 5f probably sharp enough for him these days.
