Form & Verdict
Five-race maiden whose standout form is the 6l fourth in a 1m1f Listed event at Meydan in February; nowhere near that level (though ran okay) on his return to Britain in a 1m Windsor novice, since when he's been gelded; has a bit to prove now and the 3yos are receiving plenty of weight.

Went close on AW debut on sole British start; reportedly finished mildly lame when disappointing in his final run at Meydan but his previous fourth in a 1m1f Listed race there (fast dirt) sets the standard here; however, he has been off since early March and has no turf form.
