Lightly raced 5yo whose only two defeats came at Meydan; 3-3 in British races, including a couple of clearcut wins over 7f on good ground since wearing cheekpieces, latest at Goodwood; gives the impression (backed up by pedigree) that he'll be as effective back at 1m; trainer landed this prize in 2010 and 2021; big player with further progress on the cards.
