J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

Unraced on firmer than good; won the last three of his five races, making the running when asked serious questions for his first two wins; lost the lead at halfway on latest outing but rallied in grand style to emerge from fourth of five in that Listed race at Navan (1m5f, yielding) and firmly seize the initiative from Asakir late on; looks sure to stay; progressive and has a leading form chance after that latest start, while leaving the firm impression he has more in the locker.

Progressed nicely in each of three juvenile runs, notably making all in Listowel rated race on heavy ground (1m); followed up on seasonal return when tongue-tied in 1m2f Cork conditions last month, dictating steady pace then battling well; Derby entry looks the type to keep progressing and could well improve for this longer trip.

Progressed nicely in each of three juvenile runs, bumping into smart Ballydoyle colts on first two before landing Listowel rated race in September, making all on heavy ground (1m); should relish middle-distances this year (Derby entered) and fitted with a tongue-tie for seasonal return.

Has bumped into smart sorts on both starts; finished 3.25l behind Endorsement when third to Group 2 winner Benvenuto Cellini at Killarney on debut; closed the gap on the former when second to him at Tipperary since; given a rating of 90 for this and looks to have a leading chance.
