Losing run is mounting up but he ties in with Fox Journey on Ascot 2m running two weeks ago and, like that rival, looks likely to benefit from this drop back in distance; no excuses off current mark.

Had a runaway win on soft ground at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f) last year; singularly failed to live up to that performance until his more competitive displays on Kempton AW (1m4f) on last two outings, the latest yielding a clearcut win; back up 5lb but may have turned a corner.
