Form & Verdict

Good fourth in the French 2,000 Guineas to start the year, and having tried 1m4f looked far more at home when bolting up in the Group 3 Meld Stakes here in July over 1m1f; back to 1m should not be an issue and looks a leading player.

Won Group 2 over a mile on Irish Champions Weekend in September before disappointing in heavy-ground Group 1 at Doncaster; beaten less than a length from a bad draw in the French 2,000 Guineas but couldn't sustain his effort when fading to midfield in the Prix du Jockey Club; well fancied for Royal Ascot Group 2 over 1m4f but weakened tamely in the straight; bringing him back in trip looks an obvious move and, despite 5lb penalty, should go close at this level if anywhere near his best.

Unplaced in Group 1 events last three starts but they include an excellent fourth from a wide draw in the French 2,000 Guineas (1m, soft); stoutly bred and seemed likely to relish the step up to 10.5f in the French Derby (heavy) next time, but could finish only eighth of 14; arguably has a bit to prove after that but he's now down in grade and the return to a forecast sound surface may spark a personal best (2-2 on good ground last year); interesting.

Keen-going sort likes a sound surface; beat Tarawa on the round mile at the Curragh just over a year ago and, after being gelded over the winter, made winning reappearance in five-runner Group 3 over that trip here in May; penalty means he's 3lb worse off with runner-up Real Appeal; down the field over 1m2f at Royal Ascot where he probably didn't stay; not an obvious candidate for headgear but cheekpieces are fitted.
