Fine start to 2024 with big-money wins from off the pace at Riyadh (1m7f) and Meydan (2m)

Leading contender on 2023 Royal Ascot form and no shock if he's still capable of better

In career-best form last four starts, all 1m4f but return to 1m6f may well suit him

Probably more to offer but hanging right is a concern and he is bottom of these on ratings
