Form & Verdict
High-class sprinter who's very effective at Deauville and was able to see off James's Delight in a Group 3 there (6f, very soft) in August; finished a creditable sixth in Group 1 at Ascot later and, given he tends to reproduce his best form when fresh, he should be good for another strong show.

Can front-run; his form took off once the cheekpieces went on over 7f last season, including for wins on good to firm and on soft, the latter in a Listed race at this track; reached even greater heights with his Group 2 win at Goodwood (7f, good) 18 days ago, challenging over 2f out to score at 25-1; there was an element of having the run of the race that day and he's now penalised, but the win was clearcut and he needs respect.

A record of two wins from 16 turf starts in no way does justice to the Group 1 form she's capable of, such as a close second in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot and a third to Asfoora in the Nunthorpe at York (both 5f, good to firm); the likely fast ground is a blessing and has good claims if on song.
