Strengths: Superior form on synthetic surfaces, he’s also handled turf with success. Well-traveled performer has been exemplary in Kentucky, California, New York, the Mid-Atlantic and England. Shown an ability to overcome trip adversity, both self-imposed and realized.

Weaknesses: Strong one-turn finisher, he does not appear to have the same late kick around two turns. Slow starts and inconsistency has plagued him both in his native England and since coming stateside. Past performances hint that he wears down in time, running extremely well when fresh from layoffs, but slowly going out of form.
