Very useful but rather needs the cards to drop right and gained his only turf wins, namely in Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, in 2023; peak AW form this year when scoring in January; finished seventh (off 4lb higher) in this contest 12 months ago.

French form last year included a handicap success on Arc weekend (1m, soft); midfield in Saudi handicap in sole start for new (Qatari) yard; the betting may prove best guide in this first British run.

Proved frustrating for much of last season, beaten favourite in three maidens; off the mark at Dundalk in October; just denied a first turf win in a 21-runner contest at the Curragh 12 days ago; holds a leading chance

Proved frustrating for much of last season, beaten favourite in three maidens; off the mark at Dundalk in October, beating Ribble Emperor by 3l over a mile; good effort when 1.5l third in conditions race on AW 105 days ago; on an okay mark but soft ground a concern.

Progressive over 7f-8.6f on AW this year, on last two starts winning the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton and close third at the AW Championships at Newcastle; turf mark has been raised in tandem, which leaves him with marked improvement to find in this sphere, but he needs a second look.

The form of his Kempton win (7f) in January could hardly have worked out better and he raised his game again to win the Lincoln Trial at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; still not fully exposed and he is a leading contender up 5lb.
