J: Daniel Muscutt

T: Andrew Balding

It was a French Group 1 (1m2f, very soft) which saw his progress arrested as a 2yo; his improved form to win a six-runner handicap here (1m2f, AW) on reappearance came by a neck off a mark of just 80 and although the runner-up has won twice since, this race clearly demands big improvement.

Improved with each of his first three runs as a 2yo, winning a 1m maiden at Brighton in October; faced a stiff task upped to Group 1 company in France 19 days later (1m2f, very soft) and came up well short; the fact he was even considered for that race suggests an opening mark of 80 should be within range.
