A good run of form last summer included a close second of 18 in a valuable 1m2f handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good; unraced on slower); however, he's failed to live up to that form since gelded and first-time cheekpieces (discarded now) may have been more of a hindrance than a help last time; capable but risky.
