Disappointing in last year's Dante and Derby but subsequently showed very smart form back down in trip, including placed efforts in three top-level races over 1m, third to Notable Speech at the Breeders' Cup (firm) the final time; took advantage of a good opportunity in Leopardstown Listed event on reappearance; possibilities back up in class, provided he takes well to first-time headgear.

2024 Dewhurst runner-up on soft; highly tried in a three-run campaign last season, which never really took off; seasonal return was much more positive when coming home strongly from off the pace in a Leopardstown Listed contest (1m, yielding to soft) to take the runner-up spot behind a better-fancied stablemate; big player but this better ground is a small concern.

Course handicap winner at 1m1f; cracking effort when 2.5l fourth in Listed Heritage Stakes over C&D (yld-sft) last month when he had three of these behind despite not getting the clearest of runs; acts on good ground and seems to be improving; a bit to find on the figures, but could go very well.
