Fairly useful form when placed on first four starts, notably second of nine on 7.5f Beverley handicap debut (good to soft) in May; his run of consistent efforts came to an abrupt halt at Nottingham last time and cheekpieces are reached for on the back of that; shouldn't be far away if back to his best but still likely vulnerable to an improver.
