Runner-up to Charles Darwin in the Norfolk here (5f, good to firm) 12 months ago and won the Group 1 Middle Park at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in September; hasn't hit the same heights in races won by Coppull and Song Of The Clyde this season but he's not written off.

Campaigned only on good/firmer; progressive 2yo campaign featured 6f wins at Newbury (Listed) and Newmarket (Group 1 Middle Park Stakes); may be back in top form with Ascot reappearance (Group 3) under his belt; major player, despite conceding weight all round.

On the up when last seen, rounding off his 2yo campaign with a comfortable come-from-behind win in the Middle Park in September (6f, good to firm); may confirm his superiority over Brussels and Coppull despite the weights turnaround and he is not fully exposed just yet.

Cost 1,000,000 guineas as a yearling and has developed into a smart colt, with ready Listed win at Newbury flanked by good efforts at Royal Ascot and Deauville, close third in the Prix Morny (6f, good) last time; top on ratings and aptly bred, being half-brother to a Middle Park winner.

Made a winning debut in a 5f conditions event at Ascot in April (good to firm); only fourth behind First Legion at York's Dante meeting, beaten 2l but now 5lb better off; best of the rest behind the exciting Charles Darwin in the Norfolk Stakes and that form gives him the edge on RPR; 6f should be fine and he has to be on the shortlist.
