Second on debut at the end of last month finishing 3½L behind Fozzy Stack's impressive winner, Commander Grigio. The Holy Roman Emperor colt is sure to come on for that run.
€475,000 as a yearling, out of French 1m3f winning half-sister to Group 1 winner. Third of seven on debut at Dundalk and last of seven when upped to Listed level last time out at Curragh at the end of May.
Well bred filly half-sister to winners Mushir and Estikhraaj, who was a 78-rated colt for trainer-Roger Varian.

BACHELOR holds the key here, following a fine second on debut finishing second of nine, 3½L behind the Fozzy Stack-trained, Commander Grigio, who has some fancy entries, in the Group 2 Railway Stakes, and the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes and The National Stakes. Newcomers, Battle Of Jericho and Lily Marlene are interesting and could easily make the frame.
