Form & Verdict
Won the Cheveley Park Stakes (6f) at 2 and the Prix Jean Prat (7f) last term, both Group 1s; solid efforts without matching that level afterwards up to 1m; handles this ground and should take all the beating dropping into this grade even with a 5lb penalty.

Former Flying Five winner reached a peak rating of 114 before losing his form in the latter half of 2024; missed all of last season; return in a C&D Listed contest last time was not totally devoid of promise when 4.75l behind Mission Central; may build on that.
