Well beaten at this meeting (Group 3) last year, ending his first season; free-going sort whose three best ratings were registered from the front, notably when he won a five-runner race at Windsor (1m, good to firm; has run creditably on good to soft) this May on handicap debut; drew clear again late on in that race, so staying this extra 1f is not out of the question and this lightly raced 4yo does not have much to find.
