Won the Group 2 Summer Mile (good) on the round course here last term and he's bagged Listed and Group 3 races in France this season (1m, soft); went very close in Longchamp Group 2 (1m, very soft) a fortnight ago; however, his Group 1 form-figures read 4506 and others are preferred.

Dual winner over 1m at Ascot (Listed and Group 2); made all at Longchamp (Listed) on seasonal debut, taking record to 5-7; the two defeats came at the top level last term, running creditably in the Marois then below par in soft-ground QEII; has something to find in this field but may still rate higher, being lightly raced and well bred (both parents won Group 1 races).

Creditable third at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) on handicap debut, before making all at Chester (1m2f, good to soft) and asserting final 1f at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to soft); 1m4f looks manageable and 7lb rise may be too, given he was comfortably on top for both wins; steadily progressive.

Made the frame in three successive quality 1m handicaps last summer, including the Royal Hunt Cup here (good to firm); however, that campaign rather petered out and he was only midfield in the Lincoln a month ago (tried a visor); he's still dangerous to dismiss off this mark in a lower grade.

Went off the boil on his final three runs last season but made the frame three times in a row in quality 1m handicaps last summer (good to firm/soft) and he's on a handy mark on that form; perhaps a break and/or the first-time visor will prompt a revival and his stable is in excellent form.
