Back on track for 1m2f French Listed win and he surely retains potential

Fourth in York Group 3 latest; needs to maintain progressive profile but that is possible

4th of seven in Haydock Group 3 (1m2f, good) nine weeks ago makes him a leading contender

Big shout on form, including C&D, but ground firmer than good would be a substantial worry

Below form at Royal Ascot after a year off; lightly raced and has a chance if back on song
