Nine-race maiden; two sound runs over 1m2f after being gelded last August (relegated after passing post in front on second occasion); disappointing at 1m4f this season, but drop to 1m not sure to suit; visor now tried.

T: Saeed bin Suroor

First past the post (demoted to second having caused interference) in a handicap at Beverley last August but he failed to beat a rival at Meydan (1m4f, good) 41 days ago; dropping back in trip should suit and he may bounce back on his return to Britain.

J: Kevin Stott

Well beaten on handicap debut in June but, having been gelded, showed improved form when second of seven at Sandown (again 1m2f on good) eight weeks later; travelled best in the latter and needs to see the race out a bit better if he's to make this his first win.

Placed in two novice races in May (1m2f, AW/good to firm); well beaten on handicap debut in June (1m4f, good) but gelded since and returns with his trainer in fine form; no surprise to see a big performance.

Improved upon his two Meydan runs when second at Chelmsford (1m2f, AW) last month, and he's since finished third in a novice at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm); begins handicap life on a fair mark and improvement is possible now up in trip and in first-time cheekpieces; one to consider.
