Hasn't added to Naas 2yo maiden debut win although good run when second in this race last year and fourth in Group 3 at Deauville (1m); nowhere near her best in two outings this term, soft ground against her last time; bit to prove now.

Lightly raced; won Naas 2yo maiden and solid form at stakes level last season, notably second in Group 3 over C&D and staying on fourth in Group 3 at Deauville (1m) in August; tailed off in first-time cheekpieces behind Mutasarref on return; looks stable second string.

Comes from off the pace; has made the frame several times at Group level since his Listed win 13 months ago; not disgraced at Epsom most recently, especially considering the race panned out unfavourably; however, chance again partly depends on whether the cards drop right.

Has had a gelding operation since his 2.5l C&D fourth behind Ameerat Jumaira 43 days ago from 2lb out of the handicap; that form has been franked by the winner and runner up since and he races off a 5lb lower mark here; has to be considered.

Successful reappearance in Leopardstown maiden last month (1m, good) but too keen and not clear run when over 2l off Soldier's Empire in Gowran conditions event since; still scope for improvement and although seemingly owner's second-choice can't be ruled out on handicap debut.
