Returns from a 57-day let-up. At the latest run eased back early on 4th in a small field at Saint-Cloud on June 12 over 2400m, 3.5 len behind Colbert with 57kg at $17. The race before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at Lyon-Parilly on May 8 over 2400m, slow going 3 len behind Bogliasco with 58kg at $26. Would have to improve sharply.
