JRA Tokyo Trophy Handicap

Suited by good/firmer; record of 9-41 features wins in the 2024 Stewards' Cup and Ascot contest last month (had a spell in Bahrain in the interim); back on a tougher mark but he's 1-1 at Epsom and not ruled out.

Justified favouritism at Kempton (6f) last month, taking AW record to 3-7 and registering a triple-digit RPR for the first time; only 1-8 on turf and has to deal with 7lb rise but looks hard to dismiss in current form.

Best effort this term when second at Leicester in April; beaten twice in this race (seventh in 2023, fifth in 2024) and weighted to the hilt but would be interesting if the ground is soft (3-5 on that surface).

Scored three times on French soil; posted a duck egg at Chester last Saturday on debut for new yard, having been friendless in the betting; best watched unless the market signals go the other way.

Ex-Irish sprinter; useful on his day but seems to be in decline and failed to beat a rival at Windsor on stable/seasonal debut, having been cold in the betting; others preferred.
