Shaped with promise on debut before a third behind Italy at Leopardstown and another good run in defeat when beaten 1l in a 7f Curragh maiden; shown less at 1m since though and now tried without headgear; sets the standard if he can get back to his best.

Steady improvement in first three runs in decent maidens won by Ballydoyle colts, including getting up on post for third over 7f at the Curragh; softer ground may not have suited when way below his best at Killarney last time (1m); should appreciate return to better ground and big player if staying (blinkers replace cheekpieces).

Has advanced his RPRs with each run, last time finishing close up behind two Ballydoyle inmates over 7f at the Curragh (good; first run in cheekpieces); brings experience and his yard has won this maiden three times in four years.

Came from off the pace to finish fourth behind the smart-looking Charles Darwin on debut in a 6f maiden at Navan in April; got a bit closer when third behind another Aidan O'Brien odds-on chance over 7f at Leopardstown; looks in need of further already; cheekpieces fitted now.

Siyouni half-brother to Australian 1m winner Maximum Dividend; dam Group 3 winner, sister to a middle-distance winner First Officer; eyecatching debut in Navan maiden last month, coming from last (green) to finish fourth behind a clear winner; 2l ahead of Estoublon then and interesting to see which of the pair makes the most improvement upped in trip here.
