Has flourished in this much more substantial campaign, including with a win at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) and he gave the winner 5lb when a very close third of 22 to Daiquiri Bay in the Ebor at York (1m6f, good to soft); in the latter he led 2f out and boxed on well, so 2m is not out of the question and he's well worth this third go at a Group race (Group 3 second on penultimate start); each-way chance.

2m Group 1 entry; lightly raced 4yo, unraced on softer than good except on debut; has flourished this term, winning in some style at Carlisle (1m3f) in May and Royal Ascot (1m4f; 10lb higher today) in June; backed up the latter form when second in a steadily run Group 3 at Goodwood and looks well worth a crack at 1m6f.
