Second to the current Derby favourite Benvenuto Cellini on debut at Killarney; best display at two when second to Pierre Bonnard in the Zetland Stakes; this year's course form involves links to Derby candidates; stuck to his task to take second when Pierre Bonnard flopped in the Ballysax; pick of these on his close third behind James J Braddock and Pierre Bonnard in the Derby Trial.

Chased home the current Derby favourite Benvenuto Cellini on debut at the Curragh; won a maiden at Tipperary before second to Pierre Bonnard in the Zetland Stakes; made the running for Pierre Bonnard at Saint-Cloud before fading; same role in the Ballysax here four weeks ago; proved himself a smart type in his own right, sticking to his task as Pierre Bonnard flopped.

Record of 0-6 since debut success doesn't tell the whole story as he's shown progressive form behind Ballydoyle colts, including the subsequent Derby winner, in last four appearances; did well to finish fourth in the French Derby (10.5f, good) most recently, having met traffic issues and come from a lot further back than the first three; provided the cards drop more kindly, has possibilities in this intriguing rematch with Constitution River and Hawk Mountain.

0-5 since winning on debut at Leopardstown (7f, good) last May and he could do with settling better, while Ryan Moore rides stablemate Endorsement; however, he's run some big races in defeat and could build on April's reappearance fourth in the Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown (1m2f, good to yielding; Endorsement second); might have a part to play.

Ties in with several of today's rivals on his consistent Group form since debut win; split Gewan and Distant Storm in the Acomb at York on penultimate start, then ran well behind Zavateri and stablemate Gstaad in National Stakes at the Curragh; took a good hold both times, so there's potential for an even bigger effort if he settles better.

Second start at two yielded a 6l course 1m win on heavy; never able to challenge on return in the Group 3 Ballysax won by Christmas Day; stepped up on that when staying on strongly to beat Pierre Bonnard in the Derby Trial over the same course and trip; coltish in the preliminaries at Epsom; did well in the circumstances to finish third (second-best of the Irish contingent); seems ground-versatile and likely to appreciate this stiff test.

Second start as 2yo was a 6l win in Curragh maiden (1m, heavy); never able to challenge on return in the Group 3 Ballysax won by Christmas Day and couldn't have left it any later in the Derby Trial back over Leopardstown's 1m2f (good) four weeks ago, but upstaging Pierre Bonnard so dramatically in the latter reinforces the feeling that 1m4f will suit him well; his sire's sole Group 1 win was at this trip; each-way player for trainer and jockey who won the Oaks yesterday.

Asserted late on to finish firmly on top last October in a Group 3 at Newmarket (good to firm) and Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (very soft) and they were over 1m2f; 3yo campaign got off to a muted start but he briefly hit the front in Derby Trial at Leopardstown before James J Braddock swooped and Aidan O'Brien has stressed that he went gently with him at home until after that race; his sire and dam's sire were Derby winners (dam won 1m2f Group 1 Nassau) and he now moves up from 1m2f; he looked every inch a serious Derby contender last term and that's probably still the impression to go with.
