Won at Abu Dhabi (1m, good) in February and soft ground and the lack of a recent run were probably against him at Yarmouth last month, when the visor was absent (back on today); however, he was well beaten and it's hard to be optimistic on the back of that.

Promising start for this yard when beaten 3l at Meydan in January before winning an Abu Dhabi handicap (1m, good) with more in hand than the winning margin; respectable fifth back at Meydan in February but below that form at that track the following month; first start for 194 days and the market may help to assess his prospects.
