Won on good to firm as 2yo; 80-1 when among the backmarkers in the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in May in first-time cheekpieces; all change with blinkers, 1m3f and heavy going for the Derby Italiano at Milan 17 days ago and it worked a treat as he came home strongly from midfield to win in the final strides; that was a doughty performance and this is another Group 2, but he faces stronger opposition.

Has finished behind some of today's rivals on two occasions, latest in the Craven when admittedly running well on bare figures; gained sole success (from five attempts) at novice level and looks well short of the required standard in this field; first-time headgear needs to make a difference.

Scored at Newbury when last seen on turf; looked flattered to finished just under 2l behind Hidden Force, who had something in hand, at Kempton most recently and is unlikely to reverse the placings; however, bred to do better still and may produce another good effort.

Off the mark at the second attempt last year (7f); backed as if defeat was out of the question on his return in a Southwell novice last month (1m) but he hung badly left and was chinned on the line; it's of significant interest that connections pick this as his next assignment over say a 0-90 handicap.

Half-brother to five winners including See The Fire (7f-1m2f including Group 2; RPR 121); made an encouraging start when sixth at Newmarket last July and he found improvement when justifying favouritism at Newbury (7f, good to firm) the following month; hasn't been seen since then but he sets a clear standard under a penalty on his return and is open to more progress on this step up in trip; strong contender.
