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.

Second run back. Comes off a 45-day let-up. First-up after five months 11th of 14 at Saint-Cloud on March 24 over 2400m, 11 len behind Aeronef carrying 58kg at $59. Previously second-up 6th of 11 at Chantilly All Weather on October 2 over 1800m, 7 len behind Regal Resolve carrying 58kg at $68. Hard to get excited about his chances.
