Prevailed at the Curragh in May to break his Group 2 duck; not disgraced in the 6f Group 1 at Royal Ascot since but that seventh-place finish confirms his slight limitations at the top level; will find better opportunities when back down in class.

The drop back to 6f proved to be a good move this spring, with a very respectable fifth in a hot Group 1 at Sha Tin in April (good to firm; Satono Reve second) and a 2l win in the Group 2 Greenlands Stakes at the Curragh (6f, good); not fully exposed at the trip and he's one to be interested in.

Has some CV for one so lightly raced, having won the Group 2 Mill Reef (heavy) as a 2yo and added the Group 1 Champions Sprint at Ascot last October (good), beating previous Group 1 winner Lazzat; comeback run at the Curragh was a bit of a damp squib, though he was conceding weight all round in that Group 2 and he probably needed it; dangerous to dismiss, for all that he'll be into unknown territory inside today's final furlong.

Looked smart when landing the Group 2 Mill Reef Stakes at Newbury (6f, heavy) on final juvenile start; beat only one rival in his first two races last term; produced massive shock (200-1) when beating the favourite Lazaat in 6f Group 1 at Ascot last October (good); wind-surgery evidently the key to that success; little mileage on the clock, fascinating prospect for this season.
