Best form has come on AW and he hung left when 3l last of six at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May last time; however, the trip appeared to stretch him and he's off the same mark as for his win at Wolverhampton (8.4f, AW) in March; not written off back at 1m in first-time cheekpieces.

Having been gelded last autumn he enjoyed a good stint on AW, winning twice (1m/8.6f); soundly beaten at Newcastle (1m, AW) last time and he needs to transfer his improvement back to turf, but he remains lightly raced for his top yard and is not discounted under Ryan Moore.

Low-key debut but, following a gelding operation, he just held on from a much better fancied Godolphin runner (trained by John & Thady Gosden) to win at Chelmsford in October; probably needs extra under a 7lb penalty but could find it for moving up to 1m from 7f; drawn widest; training operation also run Masubi.
