Impressive on debut at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last May and tapped back into that promise when short-headed in a handicap at Meydan (6f, good) in March (gelded after); raced too freely and weakened from prominence in top 3yo handicap at York (6f, good) on British return six weeks ago; hopefully the addition of a hood helps him to settle better this time.
