Formerly trained by Richard Hannon but remained with same owner; produced his best performance in most recent domestic start, namely a narrow success in Group 3 at last year's Ebor festival at York (1m1f, good to firm); may have more to offer this term; respected.

3yo who was a close Listed second on his reappearance (1m1f, good to soft) then wasn't beaten far in mid-division in the Group 1 Prix du Jockey Club (10.5f, good to soft); things haven't panned out ideally when third in 1m Listed/Group 3 races the last twice (including on good to firm) and this extra furlong could be in his favour; not ruled out.

Runner-up on soft as a 2yo; improved second in the Listed Feilden at Newmarket (1m1f, good to soft) on reappearance in April; has backed that up in his two outings since, although Seagulls Eleven was 1.5l ahead of him in second at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) latterly; should be fine on today's ground.

Midfield in the French Derby last time, running creditably on the figures; has a solid record (3122) on home soil, clear second in the Feilden at the Craven meeting on the other course here (1m1f, good to soft; Listed) the final time; leading player at the weights returned to this grade.
