Three-time winner here including 5L success in Group 2 Curragh Cup in July on latest; Group 1 winner as a 2yo and 3yo, acts on easy ground and looks a deserved favourite on his way to a likely Melbourne Cup bid.

Last year's Eclipse runner up and 5l winner of the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Berlin (1m4f, good) got back to near his best when a 1.75l second in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, gd-fm) last month in first-time blinkers; cheekpieces return today and he is top-rated by some distance; should stay this longer trip, preferred by McMonagle and the one to beat.

Good 2yo when winning the Tyros Stakes and the Criterium International, as well a second in the National Stakes; pleasing third in a Group 3 first time back and it's been Group 1s since then (1m/1m4f); absent three months but commands respect back at this level.

Enjoyed a fine season at two, winning the Tyros Stakes and the Criterium International, finishing second in the National Stakes too; third to Sprewell in the 1m2f Derby Trial at Leopardstown on his seasonal debut; made little impact when dropped back to 1m in Irish 2,000 Guineas; Galileo colt out of a top-class miler by Danehill, tackles 1m4f for the first time.

Enjoyed a fine season last year, winning the Tyros Stakes and the Criterium International, finishing second in the National Stakes too; ran okay in the Derby Trial at Leopardstown on his seasonal bow three weeks ago; back to 1m here on quicker ground is another test altogether; interesting runner but others preferred.

Thereabouts in 6f Group races in France and Ireland last summer, including on good to firm, and has shed a few pounds with his mark since; hampered on last two AW starts and not discounted back on turf in first-time cheekpieces for yard that won this with 22-1 shot Saint Lawrence (also runs today) in 2023.

Two 7f wins last spring, including Listed; made a promising seasonal/handicap debut when third at Lingfield in February (6f) but he was disappointing over C&D last month, awkward leaving the stalls but unable to make up any ground in the straight; dropped another 2lb; more appealing over further.

Yet to win above Group 3 level; seemingly used as a pacemaker for higher-profile stablemates in Group 1 races of late and again looks poised to adopt that role; bottom of this pack on ratings and again likely to be swallowed up in the latter stages; wears first-time headgear.
