Been out of sorts of late and a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2024); could not manage better than tenth when close behind The Equator last month in a Grade 3; Craig Zackey a notable booking; dropping in class but he can be taken on.

Towards the rear of 15 over 7f at Vaal (stakes race) last month; from a respected trainer; likely to be a threat if replicating best previous efforts.

Creditable effort in seventh (beaten just under 3l) over 7f here (stakes race) last month; a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2024) and recent form nothing to write home about.
