Form & Verdict
Had a first-time tongue-tie added to his regular hood (combination retained) when snapping a long losing run in a C&D handicap under Oisin Murphy 17 days ago, coming from off the pace to lead in the final strides; the fact he was rated a lot higher in his younger days provides hope that he can build on that; player.
