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.

Kept to 6f thus far and has advanced his RPRs with each run; hardly has the profile of a typical Champagne winner after five defeats, but twice runner-up in Group 2s (comfortably held admittedly) and a slow start did for him in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes a month ago; battle hardened and stepping up 7f is unlikely to pose any problems, so by no means discounted.
