Won here as 2yo; opened his 2024 campaign in the Derby and a Royal Ascot handicap, before sights were lowered when justifying favouritism in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, Tapeta; 4lb higher today) in August; heavy defeats in major 1m4f turf handicaps on his two subsequent starts, since which he's been gelded and had wind surgery; dark horse reappearing at 2m but his family and style of the Newcastle win give significant hope.

After opening this campaign in the Derby and a Royal Ascot handicap, his sights were lowered somewhat when justifying favouritism in a Racing League handicap at Newcastle (1m4f, AW); met with a heavy defeat at Ascot five weeks ago but he'd looked capable of better going into that and perhaps the soft ground was to blame; may be worth another chance.
