Lightly raced 3yo who won 8.6f AW novice last November and drops back in trip on his third outing for this yard; however, he's hard to fancy based on what he's shown the last twice (1m2f/1m3f).

Four wins in Bahrain from December to March (1m2f-1m4f, good/good to firm) and transferred that improvement back to Britain with a Listed win at Goodwood (1m2f, good) last month; this is a tougher test of his credentials but he could have more left in the tank, especially now back up to 1m4f.

Three runs for Hugo Palmer towards the end of last year and was down the field each time (7f-1m2f); gelded since and has changed stables (remains in the same ownership); this handicap debut provides a far more realistic opportunity and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting.

Well held at increasingly big prices in his three runs at up to 1m3f, most recently when 11l fifth in a Kempton maiden (1m, Polytrack) three weeks ago; still unexposed and now goes handicapping with cheekpieces added but he needs to significantly raise his game.
