Impressed at Ayr on his debut last May and went down narrowly in the Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good), doing best of the larger central group; subsequent absence is the obvious concern but he returns at a realistic level and sets an extremely high standard for a race of this nature.

3yo who has made no impact on good to firm going on his last three starts but his two encounters with slow ground have produced positive results, specifically a Listed third at York (6f, soft) last October and a handicap win at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) this July; blinkers go on; interesting.
