Seventh of 24 in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot; disappointed in Listed grade at Tipperary next time and 6f stretched her stamina at Naas in August; big run when runner-up to Lightning Bear at Down Royal (5f, good) this month; standout form choice and Wayne Hassett is excellent value for his claim.

Reached a mark of 87 as a juvenile for Jessica Harrington after a run in the Coventry Stakes and two seconds over this trip at Navan; regressive in four outings last season; has been dropped to 64 and is potentially interesting if his new trainer can rekindle his ability; hooded first time on stable/handicap/AW debut.

0-7 on turf; earned a rating of 87 on the back of two good 5f Navan maiden runs last season; now rated 78 after two poor efforts this term; big chance on paper but on this year's evidence his mark may flatter him; withdrawn when unruly at stalls at the Curragh last month; risky.
