Gelding returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign fifth of 10 at Cologne in the G2 Union-Rennen June 14 over 2200m, 3.5 len behind Englishman with 58kg at $26.30. Previous preparation first-up won by long-neck Nancy April 4 over 2500m slow track defeating Love My Life with 58kg at $2. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. At the latest run 7th of 9 at Chateaubriant on July 21 over 1950m, 9 len behind Silent Warning carrying 56kg at $26.20. The run before that from last on the turn ran second last of 7 at Le Lion-d'angers on June 5 over 2000m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Sharpshoot carrying 55.5kg at $27. Mediocre effort last start but is capable of better.
