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.

Form & Verdict
Derby entry who's half-brother to high-class Nashwa; overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in a 1m maiden here (good to soft) last October, three weeks before his seventh of eight in the Group 1 Futurity at Doncaster (1m, soft; 16-1); losing out to a newcomer in novice at Southwell (1m, AW) 12 days ago was a shock at 2-7 but he looks well worth a go at 1m2f.

Ended 2025 with a pair of 1m2f wins on AW, the latest a Listed race where he enjoyed the run of things but showed a fine attitude to repel a solid yardstick; unlikely to enjoy such a soft time through the early part of this race but he is an improving 4yo and Ryan Moore is booked.

Second of four in 1m2f course Listed race (good) in May; below that level with cheekpieces added at Sandown (Listed) and Glorious Goodwood (handicap) during the summer but still lightly raced and it'll be interesting to see how strong the betting vibes are on this first outing for three months (gelded).

Novice win came here; signed off for the Gosdens with two poor runs but his reappearance run at Newmarket 12 days ago, following a gelding operation, was promising and strongly suggested that the new trip of 1m4f is what he wants; Billy Loughnane, who is 1-2 for the yard, takes over.

Form tailed off sharply for the Gosdens but previously looked promising, a novice win at Kempton (AW) in April preceding good handicap debut fourth in valuable London Gold Cup at Newbury (also 1m2f, good to firm) in May; didn't run at two and has been gelded, so not one to dismiss on this return for new yard.

Headstrong and well beaten in the Golden Gates at Royal Ascot (1m2f, good to firm) in first-time cheekpieces (retained); however, he was trapped wide and before that he was a good fourth off this mark in the London Gold Cup at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm), which was strong form; not written off.

Dante and Derby entry; brother to winners including Axana (7f-1m including triple Group 3; RPR 106); 15-2, won 12-runner maiden at Kempton (1m, AW) in November, racing freely in rear before beating a hot Godolphin favourite by a nose; had plenty to learn and is now hooded; the form has been boosted and although it's not up with the best from a few of these, he brings clear potential.

Last of four in a 1m2f Listed race at Newmarket (good) in May on his only start in a hood; won by a nose either side of that in a maiden and novice, latterly when going clear before holding on from Thursday's King George V Handicap seventh Boatswain; still looks raw and a work in progress, so brings potential to this handicap debut.

Irish Derby entry; did very well to hold off a smart one (now has a mark of 97) on Kempton AW debut over 1m; respectable reappearance, despite finishing last of four, in a 1m2f Newmarket Listed race (good; first-time hood, now discarded) and should improve for the run with sights lowered.

Fairly useful turf winner in France as a juvenile but ran just twice last year; hooded for his two AW races for new stable this year, with an excellent third of 11 from towards rear at Kempton (1m) last time; that puts him on the shortlist despite him having something to prove over this far.
