Form & Verdict
Has strong form claims after running respectably in the Chesham at Royal Ascot before finishing third behind a subsequent Listed-placed horse at Newmarket (good to soft); an 80-day absence is a tad worrying but 1m will be fine and he should go close.

Won 1m2f Group 3 Ballysax Stakes in 2024 (1m2f, heavy); last win was at Dundalk early last year, having faced some stiff tasks since, career-best when front-running second to ready winner Scandinavia in Navan Listed last month; not as good behind same rival since under similar tactics in Group 3 Saval Beg; bit to find on ratings and step up to 2m looks a big ask.

Form & Verdict
Had Dallas Star behind when fifth in the Chesham and then looked good on soft ground at Salisbury (7f); has since come up short in Group 3/Listed races but commands respect back at this level, for all that he's penalised.

Impressed on reappearance (after being gelded); ran well but didn't stay 1m4f on handicap debut at York and then found significant trouble in running when travelling with purpose at Royal Ascot (1m2f); only 4-1 for a strong handicap at Glorious Goodwood but never picked up; that needs forgiving but he remains of interest; probably fine on all ground.

Sole success came when evens for a Bath novice (1m2f, good to soft) as 2yo; respectable efforts across five starts at 1m6f and 2m in 2025 and he went mighty close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in March after which he had a run over hurdles; strike-rate isn't a positive but he has the ability to figure.
