Not easy to assess given he ran two nice races for Godolphin/Charlie Appleby before being moved on and twice finishing down the field at Meydan following over a year off the track; stable debut over C&D a fortnight ago didn't end well (he finished last) but there was a bit of money for him; interesting to see if the cash comes again with Hollie Doyle taking over from a 7lb claimer; hood discarded.
