460,000gns yearling; 11th foal; half-brother to seven winners, notably Pilote (1m/1m1f including 2yo/Listed) and Esquisse (1m including Listed); dam 1m-1m4f winner (including 2yo/Group 2); in top hands and this well-bred Frankel colt should have a big role to play on debut.

Second to Pride Of Arras in last year's Dante over C&D; looked set for a stellar 2026 when trouncing five rivals in Group 3 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on reappearance, but hasn't repeated the form in 1m Group 1s since; stepping back up in distance looks a sensible move and he's the one to beat judged on that standout Newmarket effort.

Record is 4-8, the most recent success gained comfortably in Newmarket Group 3 on seasonal debut when completing a 1m2f/1m1f hat-trick; disappointing in the Lockinge (1m) since, not looking entirely beaten by the drop back in trip, but he's difficult to write off having been broadly progressive otherwise; rebound is possible.
