Form & Verdict
Disputing second when falling at the third last at Bangor (sent off odds-on) and again prominent in the betting at Doncaster only to finish a remote third behind Solomoon; it's a big ask to overturn that 23l deficit but he's presumably thought capable of better and he now goes in a hood.
