Form & Verdict
Drew 16l clear to win on British chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) in March but he's been held in three runs since and made mistakes when 18l fourth at Bangor on his return last month; still lightly raced in this sphere but has bit to prove and he needs to eliminate the errors.
