Got on a roll back on AW over the winter, including three Listed wins, and slightly belatedly showed he's equally as good on turf when getting up late to deny Seagulls Eleven in 1m Saint-Cloud Group 2 (good) ten weeks ago; very much in the winning habit but suspicion he might prove vulnerable under the penalty.
Has an excellent record over the straight 1m here, including a Queen Anne win at the 2025 Royal meeting; below par in the latest edition of that race but a Doncaster Listed win and Sha Tin Group 1 third in the spring suggest he's still just about as good as ever.
Made a solid return to Britain when chasing home Jonquil in a Listed race over the straight 1m here (good to firm) in May but comfortably held in the Royal Hunt Cup back here since; has yet to win above Group 3 level and it's likely that will remain the case.
Won the Group 2 Celebration Mile at Goodwood (good to firm) last August; mixed results in international races on next three starts but back on the domestic scene with a defeat of Holloway Boy in a Listed race over the straight 1m here (good to firm) in May; too keen and never involved back in Group 1 company at Newbury since, with reopposing pair More Thunder and Zeus Olympios comfortably ahead.
Usually held up; did very well over 6f/7f last term, including summer wins in a major handicap and Group 2; made a cracking first attempt at 1m when 2l second to Notable Speech in the Lockinge at Newbury on reappearance and backed that up by filling the same position in the Queen Anne at the Royal meeting (straight 1m, good to firm); the reopposing Zeus Olympios was behind him on both occasions; sets a good standard.
Won a 1m2f Listed race at Goodwood (good to soft) last September; built on reappearance fifth to Jonquil and Holloway Boy in a Listed race over the straight 1m here when narrowly denied a second 1m2f Goodwood Listed success seven weeks ago; more needed at this level and his peak RPRs have been achieved over longer trips.
This prominent racer was pipped by No Lunch (who has to give him 3lb now) in Saint-Cloud Group 2 on reappearance but has built on that with wins in Listed race at Longchamp and Group 3 at Epsom (both 1m, good to soft) in recent months; while his best RPRS have been achieved on good or softer his second on good to firm at last year's Newmarket July meeting was as good as anything he'd achieved at that stage; should go well.
4-4 in his first season last year, culminating in Group 2 win at Newmarket (1m, good to firm); back to somewhere approaching that form when third to Notable Speech in the Lockinge at Newbury (1m, good) and respectable fourth to Ten Bob Tony in the Queen Anne here (straight 1m, good to firm) since, keeping on again after getting outpaced; likely to go well but More Thunder was ahead of him on those last two starts.
