Impressive winner over C&D (good to soft) in the new blinkers last May and ran well in another change of headgear (cheekpieces) to be second at Ascot that summer (off 2lb higher); no headgear for this return but has been gelded and undergone wind surgery; major player if back to his best; proven when fresh.

Out of a 1m2f Listed winner who coped with soft ground; first two runs were over 5f and both were promising, finishing third to Royal Ascot heroine Dramatised at Newmarket in April (good) and then close up behind a subsequent Listed winner at Sandown (good to firm); first-time hooded here but she very much sets the standard.

Fair form in some warm 6f handicaps for Andrew Balding last year; yet to be involved in two runs for new yard but she's on a good mark and her latest finishing effort at Windsor (5f, good to firm) was promising as she was switched twice and came home nicely; contender back at 6f.
