Suited by ground softer than good; made all in the 2024 German 2,000 Guineas but struggled in French Group 1 next time; best to assume he'll need the outing on return from 14-month absence, unless the market suggests otherwise.

All three 2yo starts were on softer than good, winner of novice contests at Ffos Las (7.3f) and Nottingham (8.3f); completed his hat-trick in six-runner handicap at Kempton (1m3f, AW) ten weeks ago, never in doubt at 8-11 after he quickened on 2f out; up 7lb and on probably different ground but he's been winning in some style and has more to give.
