Campaigned only on good/firmer; progressive 2yo campaign featured 6f wins at Newbury (Listed) and Newmarket (Group 1 Middle Park Stakes); may be back in top form with Ascot reappearance (Group 3) under his belt; major player, despite conceding weight all round.

On the up when last seen, rounding off his 2yo campaign with a comfortable come-from-behind win in the Middle Park in September (6f, good to firm); may confirm his superiority over Brussels and Coppull despite the weights turnaround and he is not fully exposed just yet.

9st 2lb

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Cost 1,000,000 guineas as a yearling and has developed into a smart colt, with ready Listed win at Newbury flanked by good efforts at Royal Ascot and Deauville, close third in the Prix Morny (6f, good) last time; top on ratings and aptly bred, being half-brother to a Middle Park winner.

9st 2lb

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

Made a winning debut in a 5f conditions event at Ascot in April (good to firm); only fourth behind First Legion at York's Dante meeting, beaten 2l but now 5lb better off; best of the rest behind the exciting Charles Darwin in the Norfolk Stakes and that form gives him the edge on RPR; 6f should be fine and he has to be on the shortlist.

J: William Buick

T: Charlie Appleby

1,000,000gns yearling; half-brother to two winners including Perfect Power (5f-7f including 2yo/three Group 1s; RPR 119); 16-5 when making a winning debut against previous winners in a conditions race over C&D (good to firm) in April, but a bit disappointing when beaten 2l into fourth of 11 behind First Legion at York (6f, good to firm) five weeks ago; 5lb better off with that rival (who was making his debut) and may fare better now returned to Ascot.
