Form & Verdict
Won first juvenile race of last season; not seen again until 20-1 shot in Ballyhane Stakes at Naas in August, and emerged with credit in taking third place, splitting the subsequent Lowther third and Listed winner Matilda Picotte and Breeders' Cup winner Victoria Road; rattled home to great effect when just denied in Group 3 Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh on final start; scratched from 7f Guineas Trial earlier this month because of heavy ground; doesn't have that much to find at these weights with the penalised colts.

Ran well in defeat in 2yo Group 1s on final two runs last season (6f, good) and won 3yo Group 3 at Naas (6f, good) this May; he's better than he showed in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot but others are more compelling.

Runner-up in Group 1 Middle Park (6f, good) on final 2yo start and left reappearance run behind when making all in Group 3 at Naas (6f, good) last month; carries 3lb penalty here and this brother to 5f superstar Battaash goes beyond a sprint trip for the first time, but there were some strong hints last year that he would be suited by 7f and he's firmly in calculations.

Off the mark on easy ground at Naas before beating Blackbeard in the Group 2 Railway Stakes at the Curragh; kept to Group 1 company thereafter, no match for the brilliant Little Big Bear in the Phoenix Stakes before trying 7f in the National Stakes where he finished third, just over a length in front of Aesop's Fables; bit keen when fourth of seven in 7f Longchamp Group 1 on Arc day and now reverts to sprinting.

Group 1-placed as a juvenile with Johnny Murtagh; made a promising start for Archie Watson, winning 7f Listed race at Haydock (good to firm; handles soft) in May, but he hasn't built on that and was only sixth in French Group 3 last month; needs plenty of improvement for the fitting of blinkers.

Gelded after joining this yard and has been better than ever, making it 2-2 for the stable with a Listed win at Haydock (7f, good to firm) last month; has since been acquired by Wathnan Racing (remains with same trainer); he travelled well and was clear 1f out last time, so could have even more to offer now back down to a sprint trip, and he's firmly in calculations.
