Impressive on debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June and tapped back into that promise when beaten just a nose in a nursery at Windsor (6f, good to soft) last time; respected now he's back on song.

Impressive debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) where he had the pace to be handy before skipping clear when it mattered; it was only 15 days later when he performed below market expectations in the Coventry at Royal Ascot (12-1) and this Group 1 entrant is dangerously unexposed on this handicap debut; should have no trouble staying 7f.

Below-par favourite in French sales race (soft) last time; has progressive form on home soil, most recently second under a penalty at Thirsk (6f, good) behind the subsequent Gimcrack winner; opening mark looks workable.
