The 2024 Coventry at Royal Ascot as 2yo remains his only win; runner-up to Jonquil on 2025 reappearance and ran creditably at 1m/1m2f on most subsequent starts, before a fruitless go at 1m4f at the Breeders' Cup in USA; each-way chance if he's tuned up but yard is not yet off the mark this term.

Won the Coventry at Royal Ascot last June; contested Group 1s on four of five starts since, on varied ground and this season taking fourth behind impressive Field Of Gold in both the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh and St James's Palace Stakes back at Royal Ascot; they were at 1m and there's no certainty that 1m2f will suit but he's not dismissed with his sights lowered.

Recorded an 80-1 success in the Coventry here last year; finished in front of Field Of Gold on the Arc card but failed to confirm the placings in the Irish 2,000 Guineas most recently, coming home just over 5l behind that improving opponent; remains a very useful and consistent sort (form figures read 3212224) but needs a personal best to grab further Royal Ascot glory.

Sole success came in a Chester maiden in June 2024; often attracts support but flatters to deceive on many occasions; visor returns after being left off last time, and he's down to a career-low mark, but 1-16 win record is off-putting.
