Form & Verdict
Highly tried after making a winning debut in a 7f novice here in September 2021 and came up short, albeit he ran well in a Listed event over 7f at Lingfield when last seen in March; gelded last summer; still has time to do better and worth another crack at 6f.

Quiet in Bahrain over the winter and fared no better back in Britain when a remote last of seven at Goodwood two weeks ago; has lots of ability, on a lowly mark, tongue-tie returns and stable amongst the winners but, even so, he's not a solid option.

Inconsistent 6yo but he has plenty of talent, as witnessed at Yarmouth last summer when he powered home to win a Racing League handicap (6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark; out of sorts in Bahrain over the winter; can win a nice prize this year but not sure this race will set up ideally for his hold-up style.

Both course wins have come over 1m, but he is just as effective over shorter trips and has dropped 9lb lower than when gaining his latest success at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) just over a year ago; not at his best in four starts since returning from 228 days off in November, though.

Looked the proverbial Group horse in a handicap when sauntering to success over C&D in May 2023 on soft ground; more bad days than good since then but flashes last season that he was still a top-notch sprinter on his day, as when third in the Wokingham off a 6lb higher mark than today's; no better than midfield in two feature handicaps this summer but he didn't run too badly at Goodwood and he has too much ability to discount under these conditions.
