Form & Verdict
On the up in the first half of 2022; not hit top gear in two runs back from a six-month absence but he's edging down the weights and this represents a drop in grade; better could be on the cards.

Was snapping a losing run when prevailing narrowly at Lingfield (1m4f) but then followed up over the same C&D ten days ago, defying a 4lb penalty without being overly pressed; only 2lb higher for this despite another penalty, but stamina for 2m is unproven.

Both turf wins have been in France, but his other success came on this surface (1m2f) early last year; beaten just over a length into fourth of ten behind Forge Valley Lad over the same trip back here this month (attempted to make all), but is yet to prove he wants this far; cheekpieces return.
