The trainer is Tim Easterby, who operates out of Great Habton in North Yorkshire, and the numbers behind this yard demand respect. With 126 winners already sent out this season, this is clearly not an operation that wastes entries. When Easterby turns up with a newcomer, it is worth paying attention, because a yard running at that volume tends to know which of its youngsters are ready to go. Sending out 126 winners in a season means roughly one every two to three days — a relentless, well-oiled machine of a training yard.
Beyond that, there is simply nothing else to go on — no previous races, no times, no form. Whether Fifty Winks bolts up or needs the experience, today is the start of the story.
