Form & Verdict
Long odds-on when beating a stablemate (who beat Genealogy next time) at the Curragh (7f, good to firm) before coming up short in a Group 2 at Leopardstown (1m, good) when under the pump a long way out; the winner of that race is promising but the third was close up and he's since finished only third in a Listed race; still looks a major player here as Ballydoyle's apparent number one.

He's improved with each of his four runs, finishing second in Group 2 at Leopardstown (1m, good) last month before winning the Group 3 Autumn Stakes at Newmarket a fortnight ago (1m, good to soft; unraced on softer); had just a neck to spare last time but could have more left in the tank for trainer who has won this 11 times, including in 2021 and 2022; sole runner for yard.

Both runs over 7f on good to firm; patently in need of his debut experience at Leicester in a race that has worked out well and then made pretty much all the running at Yarmouth; no question that others have achieved more but it's difficult to gauge the ceiling of this scopey grey's talent.

Finished ahead of the Gimcrack winner when a staying-on second in Goodwood's Group 2 Vintage Stakes (7f, good) but never got remotely involved in the Champagne at Doncaster (Group 2; again held up); that latest run leaves him with the most to prove of these but 1m should suit him well.

Twice-raced colt who should have more to offer; won going away over C&D (good to soft) in June, then ran well for second in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good) where he finished one place in front of the subsequent Gimcrack winner; held up last then finished well under Jamie Spencer both times; strong claims returned to the scene of his success.

By Pinatubo out of a mare who stayed 1m5f; the form of his debut win at Doncaster (7f, good to soft; 15-2) has taken some knocks but he impressed in coming from last to first to win a nine-runner race going away; has lots to find on all the figures but he's promising.
