Happier on the drier surface when third to Robusto at Salisbury latest (1m4f); lost second close home and perhaps flattered by the near-1l margin there, but enjoys useful 5lb swing now; cheekpieces retained.

Form & Verdict
11.5f on soft ground was too taxing a combination latest, so a return to a drier surface may well be appreciated up in trip; running up low-70s RPRs before that, and case good eased back down from 0-75 company.

A maiden after seven starts but put a below-par run behind him when keeping-on second at Catterick (1m4f, good to firm) three weeks ago; interesting to see whether combination of first-time blinkers and step up to 1m6f pays dividends.
