Won this event on good ground last year, battling well to beat another British challenger, with Big Gossey a little unlucky in a close third; struggled in two Group 1s in the autumn, including the Ascot event won by Powerful Glory; out of the money, along with the shorter-priced Spycatcher, on seasonal debut at Doncaster in March; this is a deeper race than last year's.
