half-brother to winners Palace Pier (7f-1m inc at 2/AW/Group 1; RPR 127) and Tatweej (1m2f; 73); no match for stablemate Lenormand in 1m maiden at Newmarket in August 2022 but off the mark on next start at Haydock (1m) in early September; disappointing favourite in 8.5f conditions race at Epsom later the same month (unsuited by track); bounced back to winning form in 10f handicap at Newmarket in October; improved over the winter and easily won a 10f Listed race at Newmarket in early May; followed up in Group 3 Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket, with the step up to 1m5f appearing to suit; also ran well when finishing second in Group 2 Great Voltigeur Stakes at York in August; gelded afterwards and retruned with a slightly disappointing fourth in Group 2 at Meydan (12f) in March of 2024 and stopped quickly when last of six at Newmarket in May.
