Havana Grey colt whose three runs have all been over C&D, notably speed throughout when holding off an odds-on shot from Ballydoyle (a keen Fresh Fade in fourth) in maiden on Derby weekend; never dangerous last of 4 in Group 2 Railway Stakes three weeks later however and is now tried in cheekpieces.

Last two efforts in fast-ground Group 1s at 1m don't reflect his true ability and on going slower than good he has form figures of 114 (all on very soft) in Group 1s at 7f and 1m, with the defeat highly respectable on this season's reappearance when close up behind last weekend's Jacques le Marois winner Rayif; one to be interested in with cheekpieces given a go.
