Qatar Racing & Equestrian Club Beresford Stakes (Group 2)

Both runs over 7f here and posted identical RPRs when running solid races in defeat; looked unlucky on debut but was 2.75l behind Geryon on latter occasion so will have to improve to beat that rival today.

Both starts over 7f at this track; belied market weakness to make a striking winning debut in August and ran a cracker when second in the Group 2 Futurity Stakes later that month; he was a bit keen then so will have to relax up to this trip but has the form to win if doing so.

Was 3.75l behind Geryon on debut over 7f but improved raised to this trip when scoring here last time after setting steady fractions; Port Of Spain was 5l away in third that day; likely to be still improving and seems to be the stable's selected runner so can run well.

Finished behind both Geryon and Hawk Mountain in maidens at this track before getting off the mark at Punchestown; still improving but has work to do to get the better of that pair.

Showed promise on debut over 7f at this track and improved on that when runner-up at Dundalk since; behind useful rivals both times and should win races in time but has work to do in this company.
