Form & Verdict
Rare winning 2yo newcomer for the yard at Yarmouth in August 2020 (well backed) and he returned from 792 days off to win a C&D novice at prohibitive odds seven weeks ago; has more on his plate switched to handicap company but he is promising and bred to be very useful; of obvious interest.
