Hammered six rivals at the Curragh on debut (6f, soft) and overcame residual greenness to follow up in Group 3 over the same C&D (good) three weeks ago, leading inside final 1f; Ryan Moore jumps ship to ride Confucius, but this one tops the pile on ratings and merits serious consideration.

Mentioned positively by his trainer at a press event launching the Flat season, he didn't let him down when impressively winning over C&D last month (6f, soft, 4-9); ran greenly that day, so still room for improvement; breeding suggests better ground will cause no issues.
