Lost a Group 3 in the stewards room earlier this year; odds-on when beaten in a handicap at Naas (1m2f, good) and never got involved from off the pace when tried hooded in a Group 3 on Irish Champions Weekend at Leopardstown (1m4f); might yet be capable of better.

Looked good in winning his maiden at Navan (1m2f, soft) and was first past the post in the Group 3 Gallinule at the Curragh only to be demoted for causing interference; again wandered for pressure when eighth in another Group 3 at Royal Ascot and no surprise to see him now gelded; into his first handicap here and retains significant potential.

Placed at two; promising seasonal return when second in 1m2f Navan fillies' maiden in June; second to an odds-on shot over an extended at Killarney following month; tame effort over a shorter trip in first-time cheekpieces at Punchestown (form boosted); handled soft ground at Killarney, so conditions and trip may suit.

Promising seasonal return when second in 1m2f Navan fillies maiden in June (good) and posted similar RPR when second to an odds-on shot over 1m4f at Killarney following month, having forced it on softer ground; this looks a weaker race and big showing expected; cheekpieces tried.

Big-race entries; won a maiden at Leopardstown (1m, soft) final 2yo start; always close up to justify favouritism again in a 16-runner handicap at same track (1m2f, good; unraced on firmer) on return, working his way to the front late on as Light As Air flashed home for a close second; needs further improvement but likely to stay; one of three for Aidan O'Brien.

Ballydoyle colt who has shown useful form since wearing blinkers, winning at Naas (extended 1m2f, good) then running well from the front in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm; Group 2); possibilities, with further improvement plausible in the retained headgear.

Made it 2-4 when winning a conditions race in first-time blinkers (retained) at Naas (10.3f, good) last month; plenty to find now upped in grade and Ryan Moore was originally due to ride stablemate Puppet Master (who's now a non-runner) but this 2,000,000gns yearling could have more to offer now tackling 1m4f and he's not discounted.
