Effective in blinkers but surprising to see them back on after returning to form in new cheekpieces at Cork where she was third in a 1m4f Group 3; probably needs further now and was staying on when fourth in this race 12 months ago.

Steady improver last year for the Halford/Collins team, winning handicaps at Dundalk and Curragh; career-best on return when runner-up in C&D Listed in April (good) but well below that form twice since, latest in Munster Oaks here; first-time cheekpieces need to bring improvement to figure.

First Flat start since 2024 when he came home strongly to win slowly run 1m6f handicap at Sandown (good; 50-1) on his stable debut in June; the searchlights had to be switched on at Goodwood (soft) three weeks ago, and stamina for this far remains unproven, but he could bounce back on the forecast better ground.
