2-3; open to plenty more progress now handicapping; holds a Great Voltigeur entry

1lb wrong under penalty for Ayr win; major player, all the more so if the ground eases

Mainly disappointing since easily winning last year's Buckingham Palace; enough to prove

Yet to win a handicap; not beaten far into third last time but has gone back up 3lb
