HH Big career highlight while with Aidan O’Brien was winning Group 3 at the Curragh (1m2f, good) last June; no serious impact in his four starts afterwards, tried at 1m4f on first two occasions, so has questions to answer on this first run since sold for 150,000gns in October; tongue tied first time.

HH Novice wins on first two starts; good fourth over 1m4f in Group 3 at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) and handicap at Newcastle (AW) in November; can pull hard and twice made the running, including when below form on Listed reappearance; delivering the career best he needs looks tricky. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 27/5/2023 it was reported that the horse hung left handed. Official BHA Rating 104

HHHH Ran creditably in defeat twice over C&D (good to firm) last year, including at this meeting; gelded before proving a revelation when winning easily this season over 1m4f at Kempton (AW) and Newmarket (Guineas day); raised another 7lb but that may underestimate him. Official BHA Rating 104
