Three-time winner here including 5L success in Group 2 Curragh Cup in July on latest; Group 1 winner as a 2yo and 3yo, acts on easy ground and looks a deserved favourite on his way to a likely Melbourne Cup bid.

Last year's Eclipse runner up and 5l winner of the Group 1 Grosser Preis von Berlin (1m4f, good) got back to near his best when a 1.75l second in the Group 2 Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot (1m4f, gd-fm) last month in first-time blinkers; cheekpieces return today and he is top-rated by some distance; should stay this longer trip, preferred by McMonagle and the one to beat.

Hasn't added to Currah 2yo maiden win but some good efforts in smart company, notably Queens Vase fourth and second behind Al Riffa in Group 2 Curragh Cup (1m6f, good); stamina test of 2m1f Irish Cesarewitch seemed beyond him last time and now takes a marked drop in trip.

Sole win (eight races) remains a 2yo maiden; Group assignments all five starts since, his most competitive displays when a close, front-running fourth in Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot and second of five in another 1m6f Group 2 at the Curragh last time; may well stay 2m but had no answer to the Curragh winner and needs big improvement from today's new trip and/or first-time headgear.

3yo season ended with a poor show in June but he'd won a 1m4f handicap here (good) by that stage with what looked a highly encouraging performance for longer distances; may have needed the race in a good 2m handicap this June and never had much chance to get competitive from out the back at 33-1 in a 1m6f Group 2 five weeks ago, but the latter display was up with his best on the figures and gave cause for renewed encouragement.

Sole win (ten races) was a 2023 maiden; twice second to star stayer Kyprios over 1m6f in spring 2024 and Curragh Group 2 on latest outing was up with his best form, albeit finishing only sixth of seven; last year's 17th in the Ebor and 11th in the Cesarewitch, both off only 3lb higher than today, suggest it is best to turn elsewhere despite his illustrious connections.
