Won a Navan maiden on third start last year but was beaten a long way behind a stablemate in the Dee Stakes on sole run this term; blinkers added to tongue-tie on return; the market should reveal expectations but would be a player if resuming progress.

Second runner for yard; well-bred sort has run similar races in defeat in maidens at Newbury (1m) and Ascot (7f); the ground was soft on latter occasion and livelier ground would suit; looks yard first-string; big player.

By Justify; half-brother to three winners; dam 7f 2yo winner (106), sister to 1m-1m4f Group/Grade 1 (including Breeders' Cup Turf and Arc) winner Found; second favourite but found four others too strong in ten-runner maiden at Newbury (1m, good) three weeks ago; the sort to do a lot better in time and he has big-race entries.
