Superb pedigree, second foal out of the brilliant Minding who won nine of her 13 races, including the 1,000 Guineas and Oaks, though beaten on debut; dam also noteworthy as a sister to Classic winners Tuesday and Empress Josephine; no Group 1 entry yet but Ryan Moore's mount here in preference to National Stakes entry Master Of The Hunt.

3-3 in last year's 2yo campaign, including Group 1 National Stakes; clear, close second in Group 1 St James's Palace Stakes on the round course here (1m, good to firm) in June; hasn't kicked on since and was 3l behind runner-up Charyn when third in the Group 1 Prix du Moulin at Longchamp (1m, soft) last month, but he's not ruled out in view of his previous promise.

Showed a decent level of ability on debut when third behind a Ballydoyle-trained outsider in a 6f conditions event at this venue; looked in need of this extra furlong when staying on in the closing stages of 6f Group 2 Railway Stakes; interesting on first run in a maiden with that experience under his belt.

Solid form in three Curragh runs, including when fifth in the Railway Stakes and stepped up to this trip in quite good style there nine days ago when running into another quality Ballydoyle colt; sets the standard on form and a leading contender.

Solid if not especially progressive 2yo form on soft/heavy; very disappointing seasonal return dropped to 6f at the Curragh last month, plenty of early speed on unfavoured far side (one of only two to race that side) before fading badly (reportedly lost left-fore shoe); now upped in trip and the No Nay Never colt races on much quicker ground but plenty of questions to answer at this stage.

Completed a good-ground double at Ludlow (2m novice/2m5f handicap) in the autumn; disappointed on next two starts but took a step back in the right direction when fifth of nine at Warwick (2m5f, good to soft) 24 days ago; below par on his previous attempt at 3m but he's back to only 1lb above his winning mark and today's ground conditions should suit so there are reasons to be hopeful.

Made all on AW debut and second start back from a long absence at Southwell (1m, AW) in April, and third there since (1m) in a race that is working out very well; won on turf in 2024 and he's a strong candidate if his good recent form continues back on grass.
