Form & Verdict
Won a Salisbury novice (7f, good; unraced on softer) last July; below form this season, the best of those efforts when never-nearer third of ten at Newmarket (1m, good) in early May but he needs better than that, whereas he never figured when second favourite on good to firm at Leicester one month ago.
