Resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation fifth of 10 at Deauville All Weather November 25 over 1900m, 9 len behind Tonnant carrying 58kg at $21. On debut fourth of 11 at Angers November 2 over 2000m, soft track; 9 len behind Avisio carrying 56kg at $16. Likely improver who can start this prep in a strong way.

Jumped at a huge quote at debut, ran last of 9 at Longchamp on April 5 over 2100m, 8 len behind Varandir with 58kg at $84. Won't find this any easier so he is likely to struggle again.
