280,000euros (breeze-up) 2yo; 50-1 for Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) in October but he made some striking late headway into third and that was behind a useful rival; should be more streetwise this time and he needs a close look on his return.

Unlucky second in last year's Britannia at Royal Ascot then caught the eye on reappearance; hasn't exactly lived up to expectations in two starts since but remains of interest assuming this new scenario (steps up from 1m) prompts a positive effect; too soon to give up on him.

Went close in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June on his fourth start; not seen again until a good fourth at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) this March, despite a slow start and having to come very wide in the straight; disappointing favourite in the Lincoln at Doncaster three weeks later, perhaps with the good to soft ground against him but overall improvement is required moving from handicaps into this Group 3.
