Previously first up; second of 7 at Sandown Park in the G3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes May 29 over 2001m, 1.75 len behind Almaqam carrying 59.5kg at $2.30.

Before that 4th of 15 at Abu Dhabi in LR on February 7 over 1600m, 3.5 len behind Strauss carrying 57kg at $6. Impressive win last start and is in the mix again.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming won by a 0.2 len at this track G2 Al Fahidi Fort January 23 over 1400m defeating Chicago Critic carrying 57kg at $71. Second-up won by 2.75 len at this track G3 RAS AL KHOR March 6 over 1400m defeating Mysterious Night carrying 60.5kg at $6.50. Fitter and should relish the step up to 1800m.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 8 at this track in the G2 Dubai City Of Gold on February 28 over 2410m, 1.75 len behind Rebel's Romance carrying 57kg at $7. Before that won by a nose at this track G3 Dubai Millennium Stakes January 30 over 2000m defeating Arabian Light with 57kg at $13. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.

Returns from a 42-day let-up. Most recently won by 1.3 len at Al Rayyan QAG2 February 14 over 1600m defeating Holloway Boy carrying 58kg. Before that 5th of 14 at this track in LR on December 19 over 1400m, 1.75 len behind Mysterious Night carrying 58kg at $8.50. Others have better credentials.

At the latest run 2nd of 8 at this track in the G2 Singspiel Stakes on February 28 over 1800m, 2.5 len behind Quddwah with 57kg at $8. The race before that won by 1.2 len at this track February 20 over 1900m defeating Masai Moon with 61kg at $3.30. Doesn't pose too much of a threat.

Last start 3rd of 13 at this track in the G3 RAS AL KHOR on March 6 over 1400m, 3 len behind Elnajmm with 59kg at $14. The race before that 5th of 15 at Abu Dhabi in LR on February 7 over 1600m, 4 len behind Strauss carrying 57kg at $51. Hard to recommend.

At the latest run 5th of 8 at this track in the G2 Singspiel Stakes on February 28 over 1800m, 3.5 len behind Quddwah with 57kg at $34. The run before that 13th of 15 at Abu Dhabi in LR on February 7 over 1600m, 9 len behind Strauss with 57kg at $126. Racing okay but look elsewhere.

Last start second last of 8 at this track in the G2 Singspiel Stakes on February 28 over 1800m, 6 len behind Quddwah carrying 57kg at $26. Before that 9th of 15 at Abu Dhabi in LR on February 7 over 1600m, 5 len behind Strauss with 57kg at $41. Will need plenty of improvement to feature.
