Churchill Tyres Beresford Stakes (Group 2)

Improved on his debut success when useful runner-up in listed race at Gowran (1m) second time up. Only ran to a similar level when beaten 5¼ lengths in the Group 2 Futurity Stakes here (form not worked out), though should fare better back over 1m here. Probably the leading danger to Noble Exhibit.

200,000 gns Wootton Bassett colt. Third behind useful Jesus Green at Leopardstown (1m) last month. Far from the finished article when dead-heating at Gowran (7f) subsequently. Has the potential to do better back up in trip, though doesn't look the stable's leading hope.

Confirmed his debut promise in the manner of a smart prospect when forging clear for a 7-length success at Punchestown. Addition of first-time cheekpieces hardly a negative for one who finds generously, and he can add to Aidan O'Brien's outstanding record in this race.

Dubawi colt out of Group 1 winner Lady Bowthorpe. Still far from the finished article when making it third time lucky in a Curragh maiden (1m). No surprise to see him in cheekpieces having been off the bridle a long way out in Group 1 at Leopardstown (9f) last time. Likely the stable second string.

Will improve on his 3¼ lengths seventh of 10 on debut here (9f, 50/1), travelled well/ran green. Still plenty to find with the form principals, however, clearly held in high regard by an excellent stable.

Finished 6 lengths behind Giant Sequoia here on debut. Borderline useful winner of Killarney maiden subsequently and wasn't seen to best effect (short of room) in Gowran listed race 7 weeks ago. The form pick of the Joseph O'Brien pair and open to improvement. Place claims.
