Tactically versatile English visitor who arrives with strong credentials. Produced arguably the best beaten run of any horse in this field when second in the Dubai City of Gold to the impressive Hukum in March. Twice a stakes winner over the York 2800m mid-year in small fields, finished on late in the Godolphin Stakes most recently. Should relish the Flemington 3200m but best suited on firmer ground. A first Lexus Melbourne Cup runner for father-son training duo Simon and Ed Crisford, he gets the services of Norwegian jockey William Buick, recently crowned Britain's champion rider for the first time.
