It is nice to see flat horses becoming regulars in the handbook, and The Tin Man is one, having developed in to a very smart performer. Un raced at 2, he is Fairly lightly raced for a 5 year old, he has had only 11 starts, but he has won 6 of those,  4 at Group 1 level and one at Group 3. His firat win came on his second appearance, winning a 6f Doncaster maiden in June 2015 by 1 l from Ski Blast, and followed up over course and distance in a handicap the following month, beating Kassbaan 2 ½ l. He was then a disappointing 8th at York in a 6f handicap, but returned to form at Ascot in early October, winning another 6f handicap by an impressive 4 ½ l from Dawn’s Early Light.  He took a huge step up in class for his final run of the season, finishing 4th in the Group 1 6f sprint stakes on Champions day, beaten 3 ½ l by Muharaar.
He reappeared at Windsor last year in a 6f listed race, beating Watchable 2l, then finished only 8th at Royal Ascot in the Group 1 6f Diamond Jubilee stakes, beaten 6l behind Twilight Son. He then won a 6f Group 3 at Newbury, beating Divine a head, then was second in the Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup, beaten 1 ¾ l by Quiet Reflection, before finishing with victory at Ascot on Champions day , winning the Group 1 sprint by 1l from Growl.

He will again make his presence felt in the top sprints.
