Comes from off the pace; has made the frame several times at Group level since his Listed win 13 months ago; not disgraced at Epsom most recently, especially considering the race panned out unfavourably; however, chance again partly depends on whether the cards drop right.

Short-headed in a Group 2 at Meydan (7f, good) in January but he needs a bigger performance if he's to take this and he hasn't been at the top of his game on his three starts since, most recently at the Curragh.

All three wins have come at 1m; back after a spell in the Emirates; not far off best when touched off by Elnajmm in the 7f Group 2 Al Fahidi Fort in January; beaten 3l in fourth behind the same horse in a Group 3 last time; blinkered first time now; not appealing at this trip.

Inconsistent individual but he was placed in a French Group 2 when trained there in 2024; beat a total of two horses in his last four starts for Joseph O'Brien and left that yard for 8,000gns in October; subsequently gelded and makes his stable debut with plenty to prove.

Form & Verdict
Brought his career tally to seven with a hard-earned defeat of favourite Mutasarref (now 2lb better off) in a Listed race over C&D a month ago; admirable sort but looks well held by Diego Velasquez on running here last September, and Mutasarref has slightly stronger credentials.

Ended last season with two Pattern wins (1m1f/1m, good) at Leopardstown, proving suited by dropping back in trip after being tried over middle distances; upset in stalls and withdrawn on intended seasonal debut at Leopardstown; dropped away tamely in the Queen Anne; may have needed the run and will be hard to beat if recapturing his best form.
