4 yo Gelding

Lightly raced gelding who underwent wind surgery in the winter; looked unlucky not to go closer behind a better-fancied stablemate (soft) last time and is one of the more interesting runners for a yard among the winners.

On the up last summer and better than ever in defeat this year, finishing with a flourish for second at Beverley 12 days ago; should get a good pace to run at here and there still looks to be mileage in his mark; stable has won four of the last seven renewals of this race; plenty of appeal.

Winless since his 3yo days and has done a lot of recent racing over 7f; the cheekpieces have helped, however, and he won't mind any rain having looked unlucky not to go closer still here last time (5.7f).

Form & Verdict
Blinkers did the trick late last year, with two AW wins before being said to have run flat latterly; there's nothing to suggest she's best caught fresh, though, as she runs over 5f for the first time back from six months off.
