Form & Verdict
Showed plenty of speed on his Bath debut (5.5f, good) before dropping away late; lasted longer when collared in the final 110 yards at Salisbury three weeks ago (6f, good to firm); more to come and this sharp 5f could suit him well; greatly respected.

All his wins have been over 7f but there's been only one of those (Epsom last August) in very nearly two years now; still paying for the ease of that win in a seven-runner race, so others are preferred.
