High class colt who made a winning debut at Leopardstown in June last year, taking a 7f maiden by 1 ½ l from Order of the Garter, then was second in a 7f group 2 at Newmarket over 7f , beaten ¾ l by Boynton. He then won a 7f group 2 at Goodwood, beating Thunder Snow 1 ¾ l. He wasn’t seen again so presumably had a problem, and did not shine on his reappearance at Newmarket recently, finishing only 6th  in a 1m Group 3 beaten 6 ¾ l by Eminent.  He may well have needed that and on last years form, should do well in the top mile races .

Colt who did not make his debut until the end of October last year, finishing 2nd in a 1m maiden, beaten ½ l by Titus, he reappeared in April at Leopardstown in a 1m 2f maiden, finishing 3rd, beaten 1  ½ l by Insayshable, and on his last appearance at Tipperary, got off the mark in a 1m 4f maiden, beating Clogowes 5 ½ l. Obviously a late developer and on the upgrade, he could turn out to be a St Leger horse.

An impeccably bred colt, his sire a Derby winner, the dam an Oaks winner, he could be an outstanding 4 year old.  He made his debut as a 2 year old at Newbury at the back end of October 2015, finishing 6th in a 1m maiden, beaten 5 ¼ l by Algometer. He reappeared at Leicester in April last year, finishing 2nd to Imperial Aviator , beaten ½ l over 1m 2f in a maiden stakes, then stepped up at Newbury in May, winning a 1m 2f maiden by a taking 8l from New World Power. That earned him a place in the Derby, but he had a troubled run and was given a n easy time once beaten and finished only 12th behind Harzand, beaten 23l. He showed up much better at Goodwood in July taking the group 3 Gordon Stakes over 1m 4f by ½ l from The Major General. He was then a bit disappointing when only 2nd at Windsor in a 1m 2f group 3, beaten a short head by Chain of Daisies, and finished the season with a creditable 4th at Santa Anita in the 1m 4f group 1 Breeders Cup Turf, beaten 6 ¼ l by Highland Reel. His first Major entry is the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the end of May.
