Solid efforts in maidens at the Curragh over this trip and Gowran over a mile, both on good ground; the form of those races is solid if unspectacular; this ground is an unknown but a player if handling it; seems stable first-string

Won his maiden on heavy but handled faster ground when sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; keen and didn't get home (lost shoe) over a mile at Killarney when long odds-on last time and gelded since; bit to prove and draw not great.

Won his maiden on heavy but fine on faster ground as he showed when a close sixth of 30 in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; he might have gone really close on handicap debut at Naas (1m) the time before had he been sharper from the stalls; not yet exposed and could be hard to beat in a race of this nature; stable won this 12 months ago.

Heavy-ground maiden winner who is effective on good but unraced on faster; the Group 3 he contested on reappearance was won by a Group 1 horse and he might have gone really close on handicap debut at Naas (1m) had he been sharper from the stalls; that form is working out well and he wouldn't be exposed just yet; considered.

No slouch but he has never raced above Listed level and looks like being a possible pacemaker for stablemate The Lion In Winter in this first Group attempt; clear bottom of this pack on handicap marks and should be swallowed up once his rivals get roaring.
