Spells in Britain and UAE have resulted in overall form figures of 3222212; gelded since last run; sole attempt over 7f resulted in his win; interesting returned to this trip on debut for another new yard.
Campaigned mostly at longer trips (stays 1m3f); ran creditably at Epsom (8.5f) on stable/seasonal debut but has enough to prove in this hot 7f handicap; wears first-time cheekpieces; 2lb out of weights.
Good chance on peak form, namely 7f wins at Royal Ascot (handicap) and Newbury (Group 2) in 2023; has failed to score since, which doesn't inspire confidence back in a highly competitive field.
Below par in the 2024 Cambridgeshire but otherwise has a solid record, creditable second at Newcastle (1m) on AW finals day most recently; likely to cope with drop back to 7f on this track; in the mix.
Readily justified favouritism in Royal Ascot handicap (sole C&D attempt) last year, continuing his progress; inconsistent since but is interesting returned to this scenario with Haydock reappearance under his belt.
