Seven-time turf winner ran a nice race to finish second at Gowran earlier this week (12.5f, gd-fm): rated 4lb higher on this surface and while he's 0-17 on the AW, he's gone close on plenty of occasions off much higher marks; chance, once this doesn't come too soon.

Tardy starts have been a common theme this season but he took even more drastic action at the Curragh last time when refusing to race; generally poor efforts this year but he finished a close third behind subsequent Ascot Stakes winner Ascending at Cork in May (1m4f, good); risky proposition.
