He's added two wins at about 1m (good and good to firm) this year and wasn't seen to best advantage at Goodwood on Sunday, unable to get a clear run until the birds ahead had flown; capable of better on this quick return.

His wins have come on good or heavy ground but he's effective on good to firm; has been and up down since his win at Glorious Goodwood last summer but he scored at Nottingham (8.3f) in May and backed that up with a creditable fifth in a big field at Epsom the following month; returns after a short break but he could go well on this drop back in grade.

Sole win was in a Newmarket novice (6f, good to firm) in June but he's run some good races when highly tried since including a front-running third of six in Group 2 Mill Reef at Newbury (6f, heavy) last month; just about sets the standard at the weights and he's strongly respected on this drop in class.

The addition of cheekpieces saw him win a C&D handicap (Metaverse second) in December off a 1lb higher mark; not at the same level in a pair of competitive 6f handicaps this summer (gelded prior to the first of them); needs a full revival.
