Galloped on relentlessly to win the Derby at Epsom, where nearly all the others sank without trace in the gruelling conditions, and ran just as well when he was again ridden prominently in Irish Derby at the Curragh (good ground) and finished second, a neck in front of Pierre Bonnard; not quite at this best in the Great Voltigeur at York (good) but renewed his effort to be about 4l third and gave runner-up Pierre Bonnard 5lb; one of the top two on 1m4f form and leaves a strong impression that he has the required stamina.

Maiden success was on heavy going and Group 3 Leopardstown win last October was on good-to-yielding; same going description when landing Group 3 Ballysax at Leopardstown, with James J Braddock back in fifth; outpaced on better ground when third in the Dante, 1 3/4l behind runner-up Action; rose to the occasion when prominently ridden in the Derby, with soft ground evidently in his favour; different conditions now, but his established stamina is a significant positive.

Found his feet properly this season for the first time when 2l third in Irish Derby at the Curragh (1m4f, good) in June, producing clearly his best effort overall as he rallied well to finish just a neck behind runner-up Christmas Day; received 5lb from the first and third (Christmas Day) when runner-up in the Great Voltigeur at York last time; half-sister Crepe Suzette was a good third in C&D Park Hill at this meeting last year; good chance he will stay and at least be placed again.

Looked every inch a serious Derby prospect last term, which he failed to confirm behind two of these in the mud at Epsom this June but the Irish Derby at the Curragh (1m4f, good) three weeks later addressed the doubts when he rallied well to finish just a neck behind runner-up Christmas Day; as he receives 5lb today from that rival and from Maltese Cross, that career-best performance puts him clear top on form.

Distinguished pedigree, brother of multiple Group 1 winner Baaeed; blessed with plenty of ability himself, stepping up from 7f maiden win 12 months ago when settling a Group 3 at Sandown (1m2f, good) with authority in April; the question asked in the Irish Derby after was a bigger one and a mildly promising forward move soon fizzled out; sights are lowered back at 1m2f and connections have Group 1 aspirations later; the one to beat.

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.

Finished third of eight, beaten 3l, when the well-backed favourite for a soft-ground maiden at Newbury last October (winner finished fourth in the Greenham); made all for 7f Doncaster win on seasonal debut; confirmed reputation as a progressive colt when landing a valuable conditions event over an extended 1m1f at Gowran Park early this month; dam has a decent record at stud, but has tended to produce milers rather than middle-distances types; lacks Pattern race experience.
