Met plenty of trouble in running when seventh of 13 from the back at Goodwood (7f, good) in May, beaten a touch over 2l; Royal Ascot handicap (1m, good to firm; 16-1) was disappointing but this 3yo is not dismissed on today's first run since.

Has been set some tough tasks since his debut win but there were signs of finding his level when an unlucky-in-running seventh in the 7f handicap at Goodwood last month won by Qirat; he was beaten a smidgeon over 2l and could easily have threatened on another day; worth a second look off an untouched mark; bred for this far.
