Form & Verdict
Only beat one rival home on Curragh debut (6f, good) but much better in first-time blinkers (retained) over the same C&D last month, beaten 3l into second by subsequent Group 3 winner Ides Of March; step up in trip looks sure to suit on pedigree and he has an obvious chance.

Yet to encounter ground softer than good; Ballydoyle colt who has progressive form despite needing headgear (blinkered since second run); went close in only a substandard Champagne Stakes at Doncaster (7f Group 2) most recently but still brings the best rating to this race.

Progressive form in Irish maidens, winning at Gowran Park (upped to 7f, good) most recently; solid second behind a subsequent Group 3 scorer (from same stable) the time before; blinkered for those last two starts and may have more to offer in the retained headgear.

First of two runners for yard; well-bred colt made a solid start to his career with a 2.5l third in a 7f Curragh maiden (good to firm) last month at odds of 14-1; runner-up from that race has won since and he is a leading contender with that experience under his belt; tongue tie is retained.
