Form & Verdict
5-1, he was doing all his best work late when runner-up at Navan (1m; good) and that was a highly promising run with a view to today's longer trip, for which he's bred for; the winner has since gone close off 85 in a handicap; respected.

9st 3lb

J: Ben Coen

T: J P Murtagh

Went close on his debut at Navan; backed up Cork maiden win with 1m4f course Listed success, despite still looking raw; underlined his improvement when chasing home the unbeaten Amiloc in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot; dropped to this trip to win the Royal Whip at the Curragh; a rapidly maturing sort, could produce a big run with the ground likely to suit.

Went close on his debut at Navan and has proved admirably progressive; backed up Cork maiden win with a 1m4f Listed race success at Leopardstown, despite still looking raw; underlined his improvement when chasing home the unbeaten Amiloc in the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot; 1m4f probably closer to his optimum but can provide Los Angeles with a serious test.

Made it 2-3 when coming from last to first to win by just over 2l in Listed race at Leopardstown (1m4f, good) 15 days ago and he didn't look the finished article (slowly away and green in the straight); highly regarded and could have lots more left in the tank; firmly in calculations.

Ex-Jim Bolger; close second at Newcastle last November (1m4f) but poor efforts since, including back on turf after a break over 1m4f here last time; blinkers replace cheekpieces; tries this trip for the first time but hard to fancy.

On a career-low mark and he's one to watch in the betting following a break; went close when 11-2 at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) last November but it's disconcerting he was tailed off there on his next two outings.

500,000gns yearling and a half-brother to 7f AW winner Never Better (RPR 84); dam 1m4f winner (85), sister to Group 1 winners Magical (multiple 1m2f-1m4f) and Rhododendron (1m/1m2f; dam of Auguste Rodin); lots to like on paper and the market should be revealing.
