Bahrain Trophy Stakes (Group 3)

Has progressive RPRs; made a successful reappearance then finished fifth in a Chester Vase that has worked out well; good second, with a few of today's opponents behind him, in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot (1m6f, good to firm) most recently; leading contender.

Wore cheekpieces the last twice, winning a Thirsk handicap (1m4f) then appearing to improve markedly with staying-on sixth in the 1m6f Queen's Vase when upped further in trip; latter effort ties him in with a few of today's rivals; may have more to offer in the retained headgear.

Finished third in the Lingfield trial, then was an outsider in the Derby but appeared to show further improvement in making late headway from the back to finish eighth of 18 runners; possibilities back down in class with this longer distance worth exploring.

Ballydoyle colt who opened his account in Navan maiden (1m2f) on seasonal debut; hit a flat spot on his way to good fifth in the Queen's Vase since, under 1l behind Furthur, and the form can be marked up (had a wide trip); now goes in headgear, which could well prove beneficial; respected.

Campaigned in Listed/Group races, with rather mixed results, since debut win; seemed to run well on bare figures in the Queen's Vase most recently but finished behind three of today's opponents and needs improvement to double his tally.
