Unraced on firmer than good; highly competitive in five of his seven races, winning three; blinkered on last two starts (1m4f, soft) when winning at Goodwood but racing too freely at Ascot, and the headgear is absent today; needs to resume improvement.

Only seventh in the London Gold Cup at Newbury but highly competitive in his other four races, winning twice and good third to the progressive Lord Of Love at Newmarket (1m4f, good) on latest start six weeks ago; looked a little awkward (hung left) at Newmarket (hung left) and blinkers are enlisted this time; big player if the headgear has a positive effect.

Blinkered when he hit a run of second spots at 7f and 1m last summer, including here (soft; acts on good to firm) in September; had previously looked unlucky on a couple of those occasions and the blinkers were absent when never figuring at Lingfield ten days ago; might do better with that aid now refitted and he's dangerously handicapped; watch the market.
