3rd 2 (5) |
16th Aug 2025 Good 1m 2f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in the year when making all in C&D Group 3 Alleged Stakes (first-time cheekpieces) in April; faded into fifth behind Los Angeles in the Mooresbridge Stakes; good effort when second in the Listed Wolferton Stakes at Ascot; not one of his better efforts in the four-race Meld Stakes at Leopardstown last month. |

17th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y |
9st 12lb |
Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in year when making all in 1m2f Group 3 Alleged Stakes at the Curragh (first-time cheekpieces) in April and bettered that under a penalty when second in Listed Wolferton Stakes at Ascot, racing wide and hanging right on quick ground in front when beaten 3/4l; still improving and big player. |

2nd 1 (9) |
17th Jun 2025 Good 1m 1f 212y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
Stepped up from his Dubai efforts earlier in year when making all in 1m2f Group 3 at the Curragh (good; first-time cheekpieces) in April; couldn't repeat the form in a Group 2 there six weeks ago and a 5lb penalty for the Group 3 success leaves him vulnerable here. |

9st 5lb |
Both wins last year came at 1m; fair form in 1m1f Meydan races in the opening months of the year; stepped up considerably on previous Pattern-race efforts when making all to defeat Ballydoyle's Jan Brueghel in a Group 3 event over C&D last month; needs to perform a bigger giant-killing act now. |
