Comment: Finished tailed off at Turfway Park three months ago in a stakes; three from 12 in France and Britain; needs considering; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and boasts the best speed figure posted by any of this field in the last 12 months.

Comment: Ran a good race in defeat when a close runner-up over 5f at Lone Star Park (stakes, yielding) last month; a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win 18 months ago); dropping in class but others have more pressing claims.
