Won the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (good to firm) last August; mixed results in international races on next three starts but back on the domestic scene with a defeat of Holloway Boy in a Listed race over the straight 1m here (good to firm) in May; too keen and never involved back in Group 1 company at Newbury since, with reopposing pair More Thunder and Zeus Olympios comfortably ahead.

Mixed results in international races are flanked by wins in last two domestic attempts, namely Group 2 at Goodwood and Listed race at Ascot, both over 1m on good to firm; very useful but his figures seem to have settled at a ceiling that is below the required standard in this field.

2025 seemed to establish that he's better over 1m than 6f or 7f and the best of those efforts, including at the top level, give him a good chance in today's company; reappearance in Abu Dhabi in February was not of the same order but he could bounce back.

Won the Greenham on reappearance, then went very close in the French 2,000 Guineas (sole 1m attempt); best to forgive his defeats at Royal Ascot (seemed to find 6f inadequate) and Glorious Goodwood (7f; race didn't pan out favourably) since; respected on his spring figures.

Made it 2-3 when winning the Group 3 Greenham (7f, good) at Newbury in April on stable/seasonal debut; head defeat in the French 2,000 Guineas (1m, good) and maybe unsuited by sprinting when he disappointed in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; could be bang there now back up to 7f.
