Form & Verdict
Got his act together last season once the blinkers went on, going back-to-back over C&D (good) before finishing third behind the well-handicapped Saddadd (third in a Group 1 this season) on his return visit (soft); interesting on all that as he's still on a fair mark, and perhaps Epsom didn't float his boat when reappearing in April.

Won two in a row at Sandown (1m2f, good) last summer when these blinkers went on and third there (1m2f, soft) next time; appeared unsuited by the step up to 1m4f at Newmarket in October; this lightly raced 4yo is in excellent hands and could rediscover his progressive ways with a big run today.

Much better when blinkers were enlisted over Sandown's 1m2f on last three starts, with clearcut wins on good ground on first two occasions (made virtually all second time) and a creditable third on latest; 1m4f (tried twice before the blinkers) now looks worth another go.
