Successful at Chepstow (good) and Salisbury (good to firm) since tackling 6f; however, had little to spare last time and has something to find on ratings in this better grade upped further in distance.

Good fourth in Chantilly Listed contest (6.5f, AW) last month, despite having been absent since midfield effort in the 2025 Coventry; chance of landing this useful race partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear; steps up a tad further in trip.

Beaten at Chepstow on debut but looked far more with it at Lingfield (6f, good) when dominating from the front down the 'golden highway' up the stands' rail; would probably have beaten inferior opposition no matter how he was ridden, but that didn't smack of Royal Ascot-winning material; improvement is possible but it's certainly necessary.
