3-7 in 2yo campaign; down the field on both outings this season but he wore first-time blinkers (retained) at York (6f, good to firm) last time and was making some late headway when his momentum was checked; not written off on this first attempt at 7f.

Three wins as a 2yo, notably when coming from the clouds in a sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) in October; gelded prior to his reappearance and ran a moody race, always in rear; blinkers are now tried and he has the ability to go well if they have the desired effect; one of three runners for a stable that won this in 2022 and 2024.

Has done her racing since handicapping over 5f and hasn't struggled for toe; whether this stiff 6f will be too much of a test for her, switched from cheekpieces to blinkers, is a question but she's starting to look exposed anyway.
