Form & Verdict
Made a good start for this yard when second of six at Yarmouth in August (6f, good); not so good in either run since, fluffing the start over C&D 18 days ago (tried in a visor which is left off today); well drawn to attack if breaking on terms and he could bounce back in a race not overloaded with early speed.
