Form & Verdict
C&D winner who got back on the scoresheet at Chelmsford (1m2f) 17 days ago; was turned over at odds-on in another classified event here last week but he had a wide trip and finished a respectable third behind First Snowfall; on revised mark back in a handicap but he still looks feasibly treated and should be in the mix again.
