Left his debut behind when fourth of 18 in 1¼m Leopardstown maiden on his reappearance 25 days ago (form working out well). He's open to further improvement but a massive chunk of it will be required.
Half-brother to Derby winner Workforce. Looked a good prospect when making a winning debut on the AW last autumn and only narrowly denied by Khalifa Sat in 11f Goodwood listed race on his return when still running green and conceding first run. Cheekpieces added here.
Fast-improving Camelot colt who was very impressive when readily seeing off Berkshire Rocco (second to Irish Derby winner Santiago at Royal Ascot since) in Lingfield Derby Trial, looming up over 1f out and soon quickening clear. Leading claims.
Very useful effort on just his third start when second in the Group 3 Gallinule on his reappearances but pulled too hard for his own good when stepped up to 1½m in the Irish Derby last weekend, fading into sixth.
Well behind Kameko in the Royal Lodge on final 2-y-o start but firmly back on the up with cheekpieces added when defying top weight in 1¼m Royal Ascot handicap (soft) on his reappearance, finishing strongly from the rear to lead in the final 50 yds. 1½m should suit.
Group 1 Futurity Trophy winner at 2 and found another jolt of improvement to see off 14 rivals in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket on his reappearance, travelling better than most and staying on to lead inside the final 100 yds. Leading form claims but his stamina is not assured up 4f in trip.
Heavy-ground Goodwood maiden winner last September and returned to that track to edge out Emissary in a 11f listed race 9 months later, displaying a really likeable attitude. Capable of better still.
Winner of Group 3 Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (1¼m, soft) last autumn. A shade disappointing when only fifth of 9 in Kempton Group 3 on return but he might have needed the run.
Staying-on fourth behind Kameko in the Futurity Trophy marked him down as one to do very well over middle-distances as a 3-y-o. Only fourth in the King Edward on his Royal Ascot return but interesting that Moore keeps the faith.
Forged clear impressively in 1m Salisbury listed event last August. Caught too far back when staying-on third to Pyledriver in the King Edward on his Royal Ascot return and remains a smart prospect.
