Reportedly doesn't do much at home and isn't entered in the Derby but made debut in February and made it 3-3 (9.6f/1m2f, AW/good) in the Listed Newmarket Stakes 13 days ago; made all by 3l and this 550,000euros yearling could take today's rise in grade in his stride, for his all-conquering trainer who has won the first two English Classics of the season; player.

Made it 2-3 when staying on strongly to assert late on as 5-4 favourite in a novice at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in April; useful RPR with that convincing success but he was tailed off when switched to a Listed event at Goodwood (1m3f, good) in May; still unexposed but has a bit to prove after that heavy defeat and this is a highly competitive race for handicap debut.
