Form & Verdict
Made it 0-11 when down the field at York (5f, good) three weeks ago but a slow start didn't help and that was a hotter race than this; two starts ago he ran really well when second at Pontefract (5f, good to firm) in first-time headgear (retained since) and there's every chance he'll be fine now back up to 6f; went close on good to soft last year; not discounted.
