Handled heavy ground best when winning a claimer easily at a big price in May; hit hard by the assessor for that and he finished well held for his new yard last time.

Form & Verdict
Had three quick runs on the AW; weak 7-1 chance for handicap/turf debut at Ripon (6f, soft) but was never ideally positioned and was beaten 5l into fourth; can do better and he's dropped into a claimer here.
