J: William Buick

T: Brian Meehan

Basically progressive as 2yo, ending with best form over 1m2f/1m1f, and he reappeared with a creditable third of seven in 1m1f Listed race at Newmarket one month ago; after ten races, though, he may well be more exposed than a lot of today's rivals.

Ended last season at the top of his game, going very close in a 1m2f nursery at Newmarket and a 1m1f Group 3 at Chantilly; has raced nine times already, however, and isn't sure to progress much further this term.

Nursery debutant; has bits of Group form but may be a shade flattered by his peak RPRs and record of 1-7 reflects that his limitations are seemingly known; concedes weight to rivals who are less exposed.

Good start to his handicap career when close second of 12 to Lion Of Mali on last month's 7f Leicester reappearance (good to firm); if he comes on for that run it's possible he can turns the tables on a rival who had race fitness on his side on that occasion; well held on good to soft last year but it's much too soon to suggest he can't cope with softer than good.

Last three starts at Bath and went close there (5.5f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) in September; narrowly off the mark (5f, heavy) the following month and handled the rise in grade well when second (5.5f, good; kept on) on his comeback three weeks ago; return to 6f unlikely to represent a problem and should run his race again.
