Won debut last August and a 1m1f AW Group 3 at Chantilly in November; runner-up in British Group 3s in his other two starts, on reappearance starting 11-2 for Group 3 Classic Trial at Sandown (1m2f, good; unraced on softer) and keeping on steadily from rear to be second of seven, with Wise Prince and Action the next two behind him; that's not the best form in this field but he could still bring potential.

Won debut (7f, AW) and came third in Group 3 at Newmarket (7f, good) last September; however, he was last of seven in another Group 3 there (1m, good to firm) on final 2yo outing and beaten 10l in a conditions stakes at Kempton (1m, AW) on March reappearance; the latter was a hot race but today's first-time headgear for handicap debut needs to prompt a vastly better show.

The most experienced of these, having won Curragh 2yo maiden and twice campaigned in Group company, notably fifth in Group 1 Criterium International; underwhelming seasonal debut, however, in Epsom Classic Trial last month, weakening quite tamely final furlong; blinkers now tried and upped in trip.

By Frankel; dam won the Group 3 Albany (6f) as 2yo and bred Group-placed Agenda (1m4f) for this yard; clung on for 7f maiden win at the Curragh on second start but was a better horse in the autumn, not having much to race against when involved in a scramble for second in a Group 3 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) then bogged down by the class rise and/or very soft ground in the Group 1 Criterium International at Saint-Cloud; likely to do better as a 3yo over this longer trip; good chance with sights lowered.

Thrice-raced colt who has useful 1m figures, most recently 2l third of four in conditions race at Goodwood (good); visual impression and pedigree both suggest this drop to 7f is worth exploring; still open to further progress and looks interesting despite conceding weight all round.
