Handles good to firm and soft ground; third to City Of Troy in the Dewhurst and second to Haatem in the Craven (hooded for only time), both at Newmarket, before running up to his best when seventh in a blanket finish to the French 2,000 Guineas; returning to 7f may suit, but unless he can find something extra he'll again have place prospects at best.

Ready win on debut last August (6f, good to firm) and fine efforts when third over 7f here the next twice in Group 3 (7f, good to firm) and in Group 1 Dewhurst (7f, soft; behind champion 2yo City Of Troy); the first-time hood could help him settle better, now up in trip, and he's a major player.
