Form & Verdict

Won a bumper here; some feat to have defied top weight in the Greatwood at Cheltenham (2m, good) and although behind First Street in his two runs either side of that, he did finish nearly 3l ahead of the Henderson runner (who was conceding 3lb) in last season's Betair at Newbury; Cheltenham last time was disappointing but soft ground over 2m4f seemed to find him out; much better can be expected of him this afternoon.
