Very productive 2yo campaign culminated in narrow defeat of Delacroix, pair clear, in soft-ground Group 1 Futurity; respectable third in the Irish 2,000 Guineas (good) kept to 1m on reappearance; smart colt but there are mixed messages in his pedigree with regard to this new trip.

Poor strike-rate of 1-18 but has run plenty of solid races in defeat, including in Listed company; fine effort on seasonal return when 3l behind Beset in Listed heat at Naas (10.5f, soft); not beaten far when fifth of 12 in Longchamp Listed race latest (10.5f, gd-sft); place chance but overlooked by McMonagle.

Last season's best performances came in Group 1s when runner-up in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh (1m4f, good) and very close fourth in the Prix de l'Opera at Longchamp (1m2f, very soft); flopped on last month's reappearance at Cork, which is disconcerting, but she's a leading player if leaving that performance behind in first-time cheekpieces.

Group 1 entry at 1m, 1m2f and 1m4f, as is his stablemate Constitution River (also by Wootton Bassett); can't match his form, having won on debut but come up short in three Group 3s over 6.5f to just over 7f; joint favourite at Leopardstown (7f, good to yielding) on reappearance but slowly away and never showed with any chance; it's possible that 1m2f will see him in a different light but Constitution River looks the stable first string.

Camelot colt; maiden winner at Glorious Goodwood and best form when staying on from off the pace to take fourth in Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud (1m2f, very soft) in October; shaped as if he needed the race when fourth of seven from the back in Listed event at Newmarket (1m1f, good) on return, and this is a different trip, so it's far too early to write him off.
