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.

Three wins as a 2yo; best effort this year when second of ten in a 6f handicap at Chelmsford three weeks ago, keeping on in the closing stages and drawing clear of the third; stamina for 7f not proven but it looks worth another crack (finished lame when tackling this distance once before).

Finished second in a Listed event over C&D in March (strong form); not at his best on turf in the summer but he returned from a four-month break (gelded during his absence) with a creditable fourth in a C&D conditions event 11 days ago; more needed today but claims if that run brings him on.

His only turf wins came in a Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, but they were in 2023 and he needs the cards to drop right for his late bids; scored on AW in January but subsequent form, including when 40-1 in the Victoria Cup last Saturday, isn't good enough.

Spent his early career running in sprints but a step up to 7f suited him well when winning at Newmarket in August; placed on his last three starts over this trip too and can't fault his recent consistency; widest stall makes life tougher though and he will need a career best to win.
