Won the Gimcrack as a 2yo (Group 2; form worked out well); better than ever on AW earlier in the year, making most in a 7f Listed event at Wolverhampton in March; 15-2 fourth favourite for a York Group 2 ten days ago but found nothing when asked for his effort, eventually coming home in his own time; has the ability to go well despite a penalty but he does have a point to prove all of a sudden.

Champion 2yo last season, having won the Middle Park and Dewhurst (both on soft ground), and he ran well in the 2,000 Guineas on reappearance; rather a disappointing favourite in the 6f Commonwealth Cup, then couldn't quite get the job done in the 7f Prix Jean Prat having held every chance; drops back from Group 1 level with leading claims on best form.
