Has finished close up when fourth/fifth the last twice (8.3f/1m2f, good to firm) and he was on the scoresheet here (1m1f, good) last July; won on good to soft ground ten days later; every chance he'll be thereabouts.

Form & Verdict
0-20 but he has run some sound races for this stable, including when keeping on well for third in an AW classified event (9.5f) last week; can get it wrong at the start and his best efforts have come on AW so he's not entirely convincing; stable also represented by Hot Team.

12-race maiden whose only placed effort came in a five-runner event over 8.3f here last July (blinkered first time; race won by the reopposing Jumeira Vision); not at his best in either run this year and the new headgear needs to have a positive effect.
