VINNIE IS BUSY made a promising start to his career in 2020, winning a bumper on debut before finishing in the frame in only 2 further starts that year. He was then off for 2 years prior to an encouraging fourth at Fairyhouse last month and the 7-y-o can build on that effort to get off the mark. The main dangers could be Monkstreet and The Flier Begley, who are open to progress back down in trip.
