Improved nicely from his promising Leopardstown debut to run away with a Roscommon median maiden over this trip; takes on stronger opposition on this occasion but is the only winner in the field, so given major respect.

Second of three runners for yard; 3yo colt is closely matched with stablemate Chemistry; won a Listed at Leopardstown in June (1m4f, good); not a bad effort in a Group 3 at Newmarket on latest (1m5f, good to soft); didn't look like he was crying out for this sort of trip though and not bred for it either; well-drawn but others preferred.

Has raced ten times and is more exposed than his rivals, but it was his first crack at 1m4f when keeping on well for a narrow Listed win at Leopardstown last month (good) and 1m2f looked inadequate at Royal Ascot most recently; versatile ground-wise; not discounted now up in trip.

Fourth in Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good to soft) before Listed win at Leopardstown (1m4f, good); that was his ninth race and others are less exposed and have stronger form, but he's the sole runner for Aidan O'Brien who has won two of the last six runnings, so is worth a second look.
