Set some very stiff tasks in 6f juvenile maidens won by high-profile Ballydoyle-trained horses, Albert Einstein, Gstaad and Pierre Bonnard; poor nursery run at Bellewstown, where soft ground may have been an issue; has been gelded, premature to dismiss.

Very solid performer who continues to improve steadily and has never finished out of the first two; readily landed the Coventry at this meeting 12 months ago and has performed well at Group/Grade 1 level since, most recently registering a 3l success in the Irish 2,000 Guineas at the Curragh, taking record over 1m to 2-3; clear best of the remainder behind Bow Echo at Newmarket earlier in May and should give the rematch his best shot.

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.
