Nearly always gives his running, Ascot included; does not have top stayers to worry about

Group 1 Cadran winner and close second in Dubai Gold Cup, but he concedes weight all round

Held by Tabletalk on Saudi Arabia form latest but this 4yo should retain potential for 2m+

Fine season in 2025 handicaps; serious advance needed against best rivals in this Group 3

First crack at 2m was 20-1 win in a Listed race at Newmarket in September; potential still
