Held up; Meydan improvement (mostly on on fast ground) was backed up when third in 1m1f Group 3 here in April but, after 116 days off, it's his fourth of seven in Haydock Group 3 (1m2f, good) nine weeks ago on latest start which makes him a leading contender on form.

Low-mileage 4yo who is 2-3 at the Newmarket tracks and 3-4 since wearing a hood; campaigned at Meydan this year, unsuited by steady pace when beaten favourite in Group 2 most recently; incurs 3lb penalty for Group 3 success the time before but may still have further progress in him.
