Left maiden form well behind to score by a neck on AW/handicap debut over C&D in November; out of luck in two runs since, repeatedly denied a clear run and clipped a heel to finish sixth in December (6f) and caught very wide rounding the bend last month when a 10.5l seventh; claimer takes off 7lb now, while cheekpieces go on; no surprise to see him feature.

Has big-race entries; Frankel close relation to multiple Group 1-winning fillies Magical (up to 1m4f) and Rhododendron (up to 1m2f); well held on debut but second favourite for a maiden at Galway (7f, soft to heavy) later in October and eventually got the better of an odds-on stablemate who's not been seen since; cheekpieces go on and he's presumably the stable second string, but surely set for big improvement over middle distances this term.
