Set some very stiff tasks in 6f maidens behind Ballydoyle-trained winners, including Albert Einstein and Gstaad; no show at Dundalk over this trip latest; workable mark for handicap debut; first-time cheekpieces.

Beat stablemate True Love on debut before landing the Coventry Stakes; second in three consecutive Group 1 races, including the National Stakes and the Dewhurst; ended the campaign by overcoming a wide trip in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm); has evidently trained on and can go one better than in the 2,000 Guineas by upholding form with Distant Storm.

Proved rock-solid as a 2yo, readily winning the Coventry at Royal Ascot (6f) then posting form figures of 2221 at Group/Grade 1 level, including in the Dewhurst at Newmarket (7f) when doing well considering he was free to post and in the race; ended the campaign by overcoming a wide trip in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf at Del Mar (1m, firm; won with something to spare); supplemented (effectively re-added) into this at a cost of £30,000 having been removed in late March due to a clerical error; leading contender in his bid to end a 2,000 Guineas drought for Aidan O'Brien, who has landed this Classic a record ten times but not since 2019.

Ballydoyle colt who landed the Coventry at Royal Ascot in great style; hasn't quite been able to justify favouritism in the Prix Morny or National Stakes but those good efforts confirm that there's likely a Group 1 prize in him; lost out only narrowly in good tussle with Zavateri in latter at the Curragh (upped to 7f, yielding) latest; major contender.
