Bar One Racing Flying Five Stakes (Group 1)

Showed improvement in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) for 50-1 win in Listed race at Ayr (5f, good) in June; down the field in a 5f Group 3 at Sandown; fourth in a 5f handicap at York last time; faces a huge task at this level.

Winner of four of his seven starts at this venue; went through last season without adding to a career tally of nine wins; career highlight, a Group 1 Ascot success in October 2023; faded late into fourth behind Bucanero Fuerte when making a belated start to the season over 6f here last month.

2023 Phoenix Stakes winner; disappointing last autumn (including when seventh in this race) after a Group 3 win at Naas in the spring; after a brief spell at stud, made a reassuring start to the campaign with a 5f Naas win over Powerful Nation in May; followed up with a 6f Group 2 win here last month; big player.

Smart form in 2022 for Paddy Twomey, including second in this race on soft; showed he retained ability when third behind Powerful Nation in a Listed race at Cork in June; two uninspiring runs before second to Grande Marques at Tipperary.

Made it 4-4 on AW with a Listed win last November; only one win from nine races on turf; however, comes into the reckoning now following an excellent fourth behind Asfoora in the Nunthorpe. was previously on the wrong side at Goodwood, in a race in which She's Quality was second; might not want it too soft.
