Won four of his five races at three, the exception when a close-up fifth behind Carmers in the 1m6f Queen's Vase; improved with cheekpieces, winning a five-runner 1m5f Group 3 at Newmarket by almost 9l and mastering older stablemate Illinois in the Goodwood Cup (2m, good); dug deep to hold off Rahieb on soft ground in the St Leger (Carmers fifth); top-class stayer.

Stepped outside of handicap company (fourth in Chester Cup and in Ascot Stakes) to win a four-runner St Leger Trial at the Curragh last August, readily brushing aside front-running Dallas Star in the final furlong; faced a very stiff task but ran no sort of race when tailed off in the Irish St Leger.

Won Leopardstown Group 3 in April 2024 (1m2f, heavy); last win was at Dundalk early last year; no match for Leinster in a St Leger trial at the Curragh last August; twice placed in small-field AW events during the winter; well held in third behind Layfayette at the Curragh early this month; up against it.

Consistent last season apart from a poor run in the Hampton Court Stakes at Royal Ascot. went close in a 1m2f Group 3 at the Curragh in May; Listed winner at Gowran (1m4f, good) in July before runner-up in Group 2 and Group 3 (both over 1m7f on very soft ground) in France; failed to show his best form when fourth behind Layfayette on reappearance at the Curragh.

Winner of ten races; last of six stakes race wins was in 2023 Royal Whip over 1m2f at the Curragh; however, he proved that he retains considerable ability and enthusiasm when winning a conditions event over this trip at the Curragh on seasonal debut; (Dallas Star third, Emit fourth), that was his first 1m6f attempt, on his 47th outing.

Useful dual-purpose sort, 3-34 on Flat (and second on ten occasions); his only two stakes race wins from 28 attempts have been in the 1m2f Naas event in which he was third of eight last month; suited by testing conditions, drying ground against him.
