Returns from a 35-day let-up. Most recently in a small field at Longchamp in the G3 Prix Barbeville on April 26 over 3000m, 1.5 len behind Asmarani with 57kg at $10. Before that of 8 at Saint-Cloud in LR on March 19 over 2400m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Marquisat carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. Better off investing elsewhere.

Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last preparation second of 7 at Al Rayyan in the QAG1 February 14 over 2400m, a neck behind Deep Monster with 58kg. First up last campaign ninth of 11 at Sha Tin in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup April 27 2025 over 2000m, 6 len behind Tastiera with 57kg at $6.10. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.
