Second to the current Derby favourite Benvenuto Cellini on debut at Killarney; best display at two when second to Pierre Bonnard in the Zetland Stakes; this year's course form involves links to Derby candidates; stuck to his task to take second when Pierre Bonnard flopped in the Ballysax; pick of these on his close third behind James J Braddock and Pierre Bonnard in the Derby Trial.

Chased home the current Derby favourite Benvenuto Cellini on debut at the Curragh; won a maiden at Tipperary before second to Pierre Bonnard in the Zetland Stakes; made the running for Pierre Bonnard at Saint-Cloud before fading; same role in the Ballysax here four weeks ago; proved himself a smart type in his own right, sticking to his task as Pierre Bonnard flopped.

Very well related; plenty of promise at Killarney on debut and went one better when evens for a maiden at Tipperary (1m1f, good to yielding) six weeks ago; carries his head a bit high but asserted late on last time and this trip should suit; top yard also runs Pierre Bonnard.
