Final two qualifying runs (1m2f/1m4f) respectable but still went off at 10-1 for handicap debut at Newbury (1m4f, good) and trailed home last; dropped only 2lb and connections soon reach for headgear.

Got his act together last season once the blinkers went on, going back-to-back over C&D (good) before finishing third behind the well-handicapped Saddadd (third in a Group 1 this season) on his return visit (soft); interesting on all that as he's still on a fair mark, and perhaps Epsom didn't float his boat when reappearing in April.

Won two in a row at Sandown (1m2f, good) last summer when these blinkers went on and third there (1m2f, soft) next time; appeared unsuited by the step up to 1m4f at Newmarket in October; this lightly raced 4yo is in excellent hands and could rediscover his progressive ways with a big run today.

Much better when blinkers were enlisted over Sandown's 1m2f on last three starts, with clearcut wins on good ground on first two occasions (made virtually all second time) and a creditable third on latest; 1m4f (tried twice before the blinkers) now looks worth another go.

Extraordinarily consistent sort who is yet to finish out of the frame in 16 starts; Master Vintner and two others proved too strong for him late on over C&D two starts back but that rival is 3lb worse off at today's weights, so they are very closely matched.

Sole win (12 races) came in a 1m2f handicap in April 2025; made a respectable debut for new yard this April but took a backward step next time; she's now 6lb below her peak mark and moves back up from 1m2f, having been below form once each over 1m3f and 1m4f last term; stamina in the family, though.
