Five AW wins in his first stint with Tony Carroll, the latest of them (December 2020) coming off a 5lb higher mark; modest hurdler for Evan Williams and yet to recapture his very best in two runs back with this yard, albeit shaped second best behind a handicap blot over C&D five weeks ago; another 2lb lower today and his yard are amongst the winners; contender.
