Unraced at Group level but looks highly progressive after finishing well on top in a valuable conditions race over Deauville's extended 6f (soft) a month ago (the second has since won a handicap); quotes would suggest he's held in high regard by powerful connections and dangerous to pass over here, especially should it get wet.

Two narrow wins over 7f (good to firm) either side of apparently failing to stay 1m at Goodwood in June but he found just the one pace when sixth of 11 at Ascot last month and it remains to be seen whether he's still on a winning mark.
