Well below form in his sole run on softer than good (on soft in France last September); last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but he delivered a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race; two backward steps over 1m2f since see him back up in trip today; form chance relies on that one performance three starts back, so others look more solid.
