Series of good runs since fitted with a visor, winning at Ayr in July (1m, good to soft) then finishing third on his next three starts; blinkers were tried here on Tuesday and he ran another good race, albeit no match for the thriving winner; should give another good account.

Still seeking her first win for this yard but she has often run well, including over C&D, and her second here three weeks ago was on the back of a 190-day layoff; that form has been franked and she should make another bold bid.
