Held up; an excellent 2024 included wins in the Chester Plate on this card (his only run here) and the Cesarewitch at Newmarket; 2025 campaign was initially promising then frustrating, including with trouble in running, but ended up being disappointing; has a recent 1m2f run under his belt and would be competitive off this slightly reduced mark if back on song.

0-7 over hurdles but he has developed into a useful staying handicapper on the Flat since last attempt and returns to this code looking very attractively treated; not disgraced last time when bidding for a repeat win in the Cesarewitch; shortlisted.

Three big-race wins in Britain last year included the Chester Plate (2m2f, good to firm) and this race (soft; 6lb higher today); while nothing like that impact this term, trying to come from the back at Royal Ascot was a nightmare and it wasn't much better at York's Ebor meeting, beaten 3l in both; they suggested he could still have another big handicap win in him.
