All three wins have been on soft going, the most recent in impressive style in the Chester Plate (2m2f, soft) in May 2023 off 1lb higher than today; absent 678 days before an encouraging run last June, followed by two backward steps and he was tailed off on his favoured soft ground in August last time; has left Ian Williams and comes with clear risks.

Finally off the mark in Britain in May 2024 and runner-up on next four starts, including when coming from well back over 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood; however, he flopped when just 9-1 for the Cesarewitch (soft) that October and not seen since; that was his only run in Britain on softer than good; well handicapped were he to return at his best on this AW debut after 588 days off; market may guide.
AI verdict

SR 69 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

What a fantastic horse he's been, hitting his peak in 2024 but coming down the weights in handicaps and already making his presence felt over 2m and 1m4f this season; his fifth in Germany 13 days ago was in a Group 2, so another good run; effective at this track and remains in serious calculations on good or good to soft, but unproven on soft.

Started 2025 with a bang when winning a slowly run, four-runner Group 3 at Ascot (2m, good to firm) in April; remote with ambitious targets on next three starts, followed by an upturn (sixth of 11) in 2m handicap at Chester in September but well beaten on Newmarket reappearance (1m6f) three weeks ago; hood and blinkers (he has tried other headgear) are now given a go.

Ended last year in storming form for 1m6f/2m hat-trick and came a respectable second at Newbury (2m, good) five weeks ago after a three-month break; peak efforts on softer than good, so she needs a close look.

Won two 1m6f handicaps last term, one in a valuable race here; back-to-form third with a first-time visor at Newmarket (1m6f) three weeks ago, so re-enters calculations despite earlier lesser efforts over 2m2f and 2m.

Rediscovered the knack for new stable last year, including two front-running wins over 2m in four-runner Flat races and two places when the action got more competitive; returned to some hurdles form on last two outings in that sphere; a lesser show on Musselburgh Flat in between was over 1m6f but this race may also prove too tough.
