Useful gelding. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 65/10, creditable ¾-length second of 7 to Bel Et Bien in listed race at Saint-Cloud (13.9f, good). Off 91 days. Can give a good account without proving serious threat to principals.

King Of Conquest (G)
[P]
Smart gelding. Not disgraced when 4¼ lengths third of 10 to Sovereign Spirit in Group 3 HM The King's Cup at Sakhir (11.9f, good), unsuited by way race developed. Off 10 months. Can make presence felt.
