7l Listed win over C&D (good to firm) last September; there are also plenty of lesser shows to be considered and, after he was not discredited in Qatar in February, he managed only fourth of six when favourite for Group 3 at Newbury 13 days ago; in the mix on peak efforts.

Well held in soft-ground St Leger; otherwise a largely progressive sort at up to 1m6f; has dropped back to 1m4f this season, getting up on the line at Newbury (Group 3) then respectable third at Royal Ascot (Group 2) where a stronger pace would have suited; remains of interest, with this race likely to pan out favourably.

Won the highly competitive Melrose Handicap at last year's Ebor meeting (1m6f, good to firm); well behind Desert Hero in the St Leger next time (only time he's tackled soft ground) but resumed his progression with success in a 1m6f Ascot Listed race (good) on his final 3yo start; everything about his profile points to him doing even better at four.

Placed over 1m in both 2yo starts (turf/AW); only sixth of seven (4l behind Middle Earth) over 1m2f at Sandown on reappearance but seemed to need the run; may step up on that effort.

Clearcut winner at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in July and placed in valuable Lanark Silver Bell at Hamilton (1m4f, heavy) since but this season's record is very mixed and he was never dangerous in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month; not an easy one to predict.

His dam was useful on the Flat and this 6yo showed some ability for Alan King in May 2023 on his sole Flat start; however, absent since (wind/gelding operations in interim) and he's probably best watched on his hurdle and stable debut; wears a first-time tongue-tie.
