Off the mark in battling fashion at Naas last month, the even-money favourite who was sporting first-time blinkers had to first shake off the persistent presence of the maiden Chicago Fireball (Ire) (Acclamation {GB}) in early straight before a second tussle as Devious (GB) (Starspangledbanner {Aus}) appeared. Getting to the line a neck ahead of that TDN Rising Star, who was up in trip from the sprints for the first time, the colt bred by bred by Annemarie O'Brien's Whisperview Trading extended the trainer's record in this Classic pointer that deserved better representation.

“It was a very good performance because the two of them went at it from a long way,” O'Brien said. “He's a tough hardy horse who has plenty of speed and is laid-back. A big mature horse. Ryan said he's a baby still, so I think he'll go on to the [G2] Futurity, he'll probably end up there with Henry Longfellow. He's lovely because he's happy to go forward.”
