Form & Verdict
Smart 2yo, winning Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot (Group 2) and second in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint; struggled in top sprints last summer but an ease in grade and a switch to AW has revived his fortunes, winning here twice and recent Southwell Listed third was a solid run; interesting now tried over 1m for the first time.

Five course wins at 5f-1m, including this contest in 2024; gained another October win over C&D in 2025; hasn't won since bolting up over C&D in February; well below best at Laytown when last seen but dangerous to discount.

Five wins at Dundalk at 5f-1m but form has dipped since his win over 5f there in February; beaten 4.75l in a 6f handicap there on latest off 100 (RPR 94); 19lb lower here so dangerous to discount.

Form & Verdict
Grand stable stalwart whose biggest wins have been on turf, signing off last year with Curragh win (7f) on heavy; best AW run yet came last month when beaten a head over 5f under hefty weight; rarely tried over 1m but did go well when fifth in Irish Cambridgeshire last year so respected on first AW attempt at the trip.
