Form & Verdict
Won a bumper here in February 2020 but only two appearances on the track since; plenty to like though about his reappearance effort over C&D three weeks ago when readily accounting for today's rival Silver Gazette; has the ability to be a high class staying novice if they have turned the corner with him.
