Cost 300,000gns as a yearling; it wasn't a strong race he won at Limerick (1m, good) but was well on top at the finish and this colt has significant scope physically; Ryan Moore rides Mundi, though Wayne Lordan was aboard for his debut; interesting.

Twice a winner at Naas on soft to heavy and good; career-best when a close third in the Jersey Stakes in June but unable to match that when last seen in the Group 2 Lennox Stakes at Goodwood in July; his Ascot run sets a good standard here and one of the ones to beat if he can match that.

Career-best when winning C&D Listed Amethyst Stakes in May (good), coming from well off pace; similar tactics employed in Group Desmond Stakes over C&D last month but left with too much to do when strong-finishing 1l third to front-running Johan; likely stronger pace here should suit but this looks a deeper race.
