Listed winner at two when based in Britain and ran okay on occasions when highly tried as a 3yo; below best on yard debut (trip too far) at Gowran but bounced back at same venue earlier this month when making all over a mile; drop back in trip no problem, should go well.

Useful 2yo in Britain (Listed 7f winner) and ran some fair races in the face of stiff tasks as a 3yo; returned from a 217-day absence at Lingfield on AW (7f, 15-8 fav) in February, having been gelded, but folded quickly; makes stable debut now, but needs to return to his best to win in a contest where others are treated slightly better by race conditions.

His three good runs this year have all come at Ascot, winning in May (6f, good) and doing best of those in the stands' side group when sixth behind All Ways Glamorous here two weeks ago (cheekpieces on for the first time; first 5f run since 2024); can get it wrong at the start but he has races in him off this mark.

Kept on well when winning a 6f handicap (good) here in May; not so good on his next two starts but he ran well for third back here (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; drops back to 5f with cheekpieces enlisted; others preferred for the win.

Consistent since returning from 18 months off; easy to argue he's happier on the AW than turf, so he's at least entitled to close the gap on Michaela's Boy from Yarmouth on 5lb better terms; the hood comes off today.

His impressive Newmarket success last May saw him hit hard by the handicapper and he hasn't added to it; chasing home Sondad at Epsom (6f, soft) in June represented his best run of the year but he failed to build on it at Windsor last time; others look safer.

Quite lightly raced since going up 11lb for a wide-margin win at Newmarket (6f, good) in May 2025, but a recent second on soft ground at Epsom (6f; cheekpieces refitted) was a useful effort at the weights and showed him to be back on track; should be in contention again.
