Has plenty of ability (two Group-race wins in Dubai) but slow starts have crept in, notably in the Stewards' Cup 18 days ago; the experiment with blinkers has been quickly aborted but he is a risky proposition for now.

J: Darragh Keenan

T: George Scott

Quickly established himself as a smart sprinter, winning Group 2 and Group 3 prizes at Meydan (both 5f; good to firm and good) in early 2025; the addition of cheekpieces saw him return to his best when second in a 5f Group 3 on Dundalk AW last October; not quite at his best in two runs in Dubai in January and absent since; new blinkers need to have a positive effect.

Runner-up on both starts so far, latest over 6f at Thirsk when narrowly beaten in what looks a strong maiden (good; missed the break slightly); should be just as effective over this trip; chance.

Often leads but can be slowly away; took a steep rise in the weights for two 5f wins in early spring but she absorbed it and added another win, from the fast-finishing Ancient State, on Lingfield AW in April; another solid effort back on turf there 11 days ago; strong showing likely back at 5f on AW.
