Form & Verdict

Failed to win in 13 runs for John Butler but did show promise, including over C&D; ran very well in the face of a stiff task on his stable debut here two weeks ago; will need even more if he is to break his duck from the widest stall.

Form & Verdict

Operating off a much-reduced mark nowadays and he has been running creditably, albeit without living up to his market billing, of late; dips his toe into 0-55 waters for the first time and well drawn; should make a bold bid to end his long losing streak.
