Made a winning 2yo debut before acquitting himself with credit in Group races, last seen finishing fifth in the Dewhurst; gelded and had a wind op since last in action, also now tongue tied; still has time to fulfil his 2yo potential but the long absence is disconcerting.

Very useful 2yo; off the track for over a year prior to a cosy success in a 7f handicap at Lingfield in October; looked set to take higher rank after that win but he was disappointing in a 1m Listed event at Kempton in November; can take a strong hold so the addition of a hood could help; the Lingfield promise isn't easily forgotten and a revival could be on the cards.

Bit of a mixed bag in five starts at Meydan at the start of the year, coming closest to winning when beaten a neck in a 16-runner handicap (7f, good); 5-20 on the AW, but 0-11 on turf and he may need this after 140 days off; stable also runs Nizaaka.
