Form & Verdict
Much too strong for the well-fancied Formal Display on debut over 7f at the Curragh; finished just in front of the subsequent Beresford Stakes winner Deepone when third behind the Aidan O'Brien-trained pair Diego Velasquez and Capulet in a 1m Group 2 event at this venue on his second outing.

Top rated in here at 107; running well in higher grades on his last few starts; his last try in Listed company resulted in victory at the Curragh (1m, soft); was only beaten 3.5l in a Group 2 on latest and he has to hold big claims here if handling the surface on AW debut.

Form & Verdict
Sent off long odds-on for 6f Naas debut and won easily; up with the pace throughout before weakening late into fourth in the Group 3 Tattersalls Stakes at Newmarket; ground was quick then, very different conditions here, though the Newmarket form stood up well courtesy of placed efforts from Alyanaabi and Eben Shaddad in the Dewhurst.
