Won in big field over C&D at Royal meeting; may not have reached his ceiling just yet

3yo; further improvement when beating her 14 rivals over C&D two weeks ago; major player

Close second to Significantly at Haydock in July; shapes as if drop back in trip will suit

Two wins at Musselburgh and has remained in form; return to 5f should be ideal
