Lost out by only a short head over 6f at Sha Tin last month and was a very respectable fifth over that C&D when upped to this grade a fortnight ago; unraced over 5f but this 3yo may still have a bigger run in him.

Close second to Kurpany at Sha Tin on last month's seasonal debut and out of the weights when just behind him in Group 3 handicap there four weeks ago; runs this track well and can make a bold bid from the inside stall.

Looked very exciting when winning twice in March/April 2022 but yet to add to his tally and has become very inconsistent; returns from five-month break on a good mark but others look much safer.
