Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently 3rd in a small field in the G3 Prix Francois Boutin at Deauville on August 16 over 1400m, 4 len behind Avec Toi carrying 57.5kg at $8.90. The race before that 3rd of 7 at Deauville on August 9 over 1400m, 0.6 len behind The Highlight with 58.5kg at $4. Only has a small field to contend with and looks hard to beat.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd in a small field in the LR Criterium de Lyon at Lyon-Parilly on September 8 over 1600m, 0.7 len behind Skyridge carrying 57.5kg at $2.60. The race before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at Clairefontaine on August 1 over 1600m in soft going defeating Katon with 58kg at $1.40. Strong effort last time and looks a leading hope.
