Form & Verdict

Unexposed 4yo who was a fine second over C&D on his final 3yo outing (RPR 104); gelded afterwards; blindfold slow to be removed on his belated seasonal return at Ascot in September, where he travelled well enough and wasn't persevered with once his chance had gone; could take a marked step forward today and Oisin Murphy is an encouraging booking.

Progressed well as a 3yo and the good work continued on AW last November, following a stylish Kempton handicap win with a cosy Listed success at Lingfield (both 6f); ran right up to his best when third in a strong Group 3 at Newcastle in June; strong traveller who is greatly respected back in a handicap despite his lofty rating.

Form & Verdict

Has done most of his racing over further and won over 1m2f here last year, though he did run well over this trip on a few occasions in the spring; can go well fresh so the five-month absence is not a major issue but others may prove better handicapped.

Often a prominent racer so stall 1 looks a plus; bits of form this year that give him claims and his Stewards' Cup run when last seen is easy enough to excuse on account of the heavy ground; blinkers tried that day are now left off; may well have another trip to Bahrain on his agenda this winter but not discounted.

Yet to win a race for this yard but he has turned in several good runs in defeat, notably when a close third in the Ayr Silver Cup in September; also ran well for third back at Ayr three weeks ago (6f, heavy); same mark today and first-time visor replaces regular cheekpieces; just a worry that he'll get going too late around here.
