Form & Verdict
Won Windsor novice (5f, turf) last August and showed improved form, and plenty of pace, when landing Lingfield handicap (6f, AW debut) in November; he could have more to offer on the AW for his top yard and this well-bred 4yo could make light of a 7lb rise.

British raider was in fine form at Meydan at the turn of the year, winning a Listed (yielding) and a Group 2 (good), both over 5f; didn't get the smoothest of runs when beaten 3.5l in the King Charles III at Royal Ascot last time (behind Rosy Affair and Jakajaro) and could get closer here if getting a clear passage.

Dual C&D winner of much higher marks in the summer of 2022 including this race; 1-23 since, though, and tardy starts have become a habit (blindfold off late the last twice); 5lb below last winning mark so certainly well handicapped, but risky.
