Close second to subsequent Derby winner Christmas Day in the Ballysax on return and had no trouble landing the odds in listed event at Leopardstown in June. Decent second in Hampton Court at Royal Ascot since and has since left Aidan O'Brien.

Best effort for a while when winning heavy-ground listed event at Limerick 7 weeks ago but looks vulnerable in this stronger race back on faster going.

Progressive in 2025, bagging the 2½m Ascot Stakes at the Royal Meeting before an excellent second to Ethical Diamond in the Ebor at York. Not at that level both starts this year but shaped better than the bare result in the Copper Horse at Royal Ascot last time.

Highly tried since winning Golden Fleece here as a 2-y-o but he did pick up a 9f listed race here last summer. Once again came up short at the top level when 8¾ lengths fourth in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh when last seen in May but he's capable of making an impact at this level.
