Has record of 3-4 on AW and the wins came in February-April of this year; his latest success was off this mark over C&D but he's not hit the same level since and has been well held here and at Newmarket in last two runs; cheekpieces are now added and he needs to rediscover his spark.

Form & Verdict
Well-related son of Dubawi; finished runner-up over 7f (turf/Polytrack) in first two starts before an emphatic win in a C&D maiden in January; had wind/gelding operations since; returns from 293 days off but he still has plenty of potential for top yard and is a big player on his handicap debut.

Both wins in Britain have come on the AW and he went down by only a head at Kempton (7f) last time, but he did score on turf in France (for this stable); further probably suits him best, but he stil comes into this in better form than most.

Has five wins on his CV and the last four have come on Tapeta at Newcastle (7f/1m); his latest success was in February but he's been lightly raced since and has not really fired in last three runs; needs to raise his game and he still has a bit to prove on Polytrack.
