Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material.

The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark.
