Fast-ground 2yo winner; made it 2-3 with authoritative front-running win at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on return; about 3l behind runner-up Bracken's Laugh when Listed third of four at Chester (10.3f, good) latest but carried 3lb penalty; could improve upon that form if settling better; not discounted.

Impressive 2yo winner on the AW; had none other than Derby runner-up Ambiente Friendly behind when second in the Listed Feilden Stakes at Newmarket (1m1f, good) and, for whatever reason, he never gave his running at the same level on his return there (late rain may not have helped); big weights are never welcomed in this race but he could have the class to take a hand.

Won debut on good to soft; no match for Ancient Wisdom in a Newmarket Group 3 (1m, soft) next time and made just a respectable reappearance in a 1m1f Listed race there in April; there was little in his pedigree to suggest he needed a longer trip but despite having an early tug of war with his rider in the Lingfield Derby Trial (11.6f, good; first time without a hood) he swept away to win in fine style and in a quick time; wouldn't want to waste energy early in this better race but the unusual track shouldn't be a problem and a dry end to the week is helpful.

Unraced on firmer than good; rather put in his place in a Group 3 on final 2yo start and two Listed races this season, but he rallied well when a close third to Birdman (Wednesday's Queen's Vase third) over 1m5f at Navan last time and perhaps could have done with setting a stronger pace; top trainer (runs four) won this in 2019 and has had two runners on the premises since.
