'Gave the odds-on favourite a scare in C&D Group 3 latest; up 3lb but he's a rising force'
'Clearcut C&D win (good to soft) final 3yo start; has not fired in the same way this term'

'Absent four years before resuming this summer for Willie Mullins with two good runs'
'Reliable and progressive; heavy ground when seen off by Sweet William at Goodwood; player'

'Regular in Group and Listed races but sole win remains a maiden in 2019; first headgear'
'Won good 1m6f race at Newmarket in May and beaten a neck over 1m4f at Royal Ascot'
'Due to run in 1m4f Listed race here on Thursday but would otherwise look very interesting'
