Very smart horse who shaped as if in need of run when 6½ lengths fifth of 8 to Alenquer in Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh (10.5f, good) on seasonal return 27 days ago. Should be back closer to best this time and could match last year's second in this.

In the form of his life this spring, winning valuable AW event at Newcastle on Good Friday and bagging the Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes over this trip at Newmarket a fortnight later. His good run did come to an abrupt halt when last of 6 in the Coronation Cup at Epsom a fortnight ago, though.

Ended 2021 with a brace of small-field Group 3 wins. Well below par in Saudi Group 3 on reappearance but quickly back on track when seeing off 3 rivals in Group 2 Huxley at Chester last month. This looks a much deeper Group 2.

Had an excellent 3-y-o season, winning 3 Group 1s (including Irish Derby and St Leger) and gave another really good account of himself when ¾-length third in Arc at Longchamp on final start. Escapes a penalty for his Group 1 successes. Hard to beat if close to his best on reappearance.
