Form & Verdict
Improved for his Carlisle debut (6f, good to firm) when upped to 7f at Ayr (good; raced freely) in July; raced prominently for some time before weakening out of it at Catterick (7f, soft) latest; further step up in trip looks positive and we may see him improve now entering nurseries.
