Both wins over 1m on soft but he coped well with the step up to 1m2f at Goodwood (soft) last time out, when ridden to conserve stamina and putting in strong late work into third behind Maghlaak and Qitaal; needs to show he can repeat it on this more galloping track but a danger to all.

Two of his last three wins have come on this track (good and soft ground), the latest in this race last year; hit heavily for the wide-margin win and has rather ebbed and flowed since but he's only just above that winning mark and a solid effort can be expected.

170,000euros buy as 2yo; second favourite for eight-runner maiden at Leicester (1m2f, soft) three weeks ago and the only one to ask any question of the 4-11 favourite, who beat him comfortably but they were 15l clear of the third; that puts him firmly in the equation and he should improve.
