Acts on flat tracks but he comes into his own when tackling a stiff test at 5f, as when winning this race last year, taking C&D record to 2-2, and roaring home to win a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; cheekpieces worn in October are discarded; yard in form; not to be underestimated.

Can look good over 5f, as when winning either side of a winter break and, more recently, when outstaying She's Quality in a Group 3 at Sandown (good to firm) in July; however, he's had some wobbles too and his fifth to Arizona Blaze in a Group 2 at the Curragh last time was one of them; quite capable of a good show on his best form and has been supplemented.

Form & Verdict
After finishing a highly creditable seventh in the Windsor Castle (5f; first-time tongue-tie) it was disappointing to see him come up short in a Chester maiden, especially as he had the best form and was well drawn; gelded subsequently and that could make a difference to him.

£160,000 2yo; impressive in making light work of the favourite (with experience) at Leicester and he wasn't out of place in a strong renewal of the Windsor Castle, finishing sixth of 24; breeding and running style suggests this extra furlong will benefit; Gimcrack entry who could have the class to threaten off top weight.

Below par in sales race here (6f, good to soft) last October when last seen but she's very much of interest on some of her earlier form, as she's 3lb lower than when a fast-finishing fourth of 16 in a nursery at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) in July, and it was a strong fillies' conditions race in which she was third there (7f, soft) next time; firmly in calculations.
