Comes here off a 35-day let-up. At the latest run ran second last of 14 at Galway on August 2 over 1408m, 10 len behind Dunum carrying 61kg at $15. The race before that ran last of 12 in the G1 Sussex Stakes at Goodwood on July 29 over 1609m, 23 len behind Bow Echo carrying 58kg at $201. Would have to improve sharply.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 56-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 8 in the G1 Prix Jean Prat at Deauville on July 12 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Thesecretadversary with 58.5kg at $6.90. The start before that won by 0.8 len in the G2 Prix Paul De Moussac (Prix De La Jonchere) at this track on June 7 over 1400m defeating Go Man carrying 57kg at $2.20. Wasn't too far off the mark last time. Sure to be thereabouts.
