Acts on good to firm and heavy ground; won off 1lb higher at Goodwood (1m) last July but has mixed record since and was beaten 11l in the Spring Mile on his reappearance in March; this is a big drop back in grade but he's now 1-11 in handicaps and others are more convincing.

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.
