Useful efforts when second in Group 2 Robert Papin at Chantilly (6f, good to soft) and fourth in Group 1 Phoenix at the Curragh (6f, good to firm) in the summer; gelded since a poor run in Listed race at Ripon in a first-time visor (discarded) at the end of August; bang there if back to his best but there have to be doubts after Ripon and James Doyle prefers Diego Ventura.

Made a winning start in 5f York novice then advanced his form when runner-up in the Prix Robert Papin at Chantilly and fourth in Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh (cheekpieces on) on his last two outings; visor goes on now and he holds good form claims.

His dam was Listed-placed over 6f/7f and he was the 9-2 joint-favourite when recovering from a slow start to win by a short head on last month's debut at York (5f, good); the runner-up Francisco's Piece (who was conceding 5lb) has won a Listed race since; subsequently acquired by Wathnan Racing (remains in same yard); he's a highly likeable prospect who is on the shortlist.
