Lightly raced; could well resume his progress back down in distance; remains of interest

Had wind surgery since last run; the pick of his 2022 form puts him in the picture
9 (3)	Scampi Bay J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	119	h	36115-	86	111	79	222d	—	—	+12	25.6	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Largely consistent; all wins at 1m4f but could go well if coping with return to 1m2f
3 (9)	Caius Chorister Bay J:Benoit De La Sayette(3) T:David Menuisier	J:Benoit De La Sayette(3) T:David Menuisier	130	—	11260-	97	115	102	200d	—	—	+11	22.6	1.63/1	13/2 13%

Very useful on his day but failed to shine in this race two years ago (sole Epsom run)
7 (5)	Bad Company Bay J:Pat Cosgrave T:Jim Boyle	J:Pat Cosgrave T:Jim Boyle	124	p	1222-8	91	114	85	23d	—	—	+3	13.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%

Best effort last term when third in useful handicap here on Oaks day; place claims
