Maiden winner at Goodwood; best juvenile form when staying on from off the pace to take fourth behind Pierre Bonnard in Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; shaped as if he needed the race when fourth of seven in a Listed event at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on return; eased when beaten in Derby Trial at Lingfield; should be competitive now.

Group 1 winner as a 2yo; came up dry in 3yo season but plenty of good runs in defeat, including when placing in the 2000 Guineas here (1m, good); has a tendency to race keenly at times, as he did when beaten a nose dropped to Listed company on seasonal return at Navan (1m1f, good), splitting Isaac Newton and Geryon; cheekpieces look a good addition and he should go well again.
