Form & Verdict

Interesting in that he only had to be ridden out to win this 12 months ago off just a 2lb lower mark; on the downside, he's not threatened since and was tailed off behind Cartonne at Doncaster last month.

Form & Verdict

Following wind surgery he was close up in a first-time visor at Stratford but his profile is a patchy one and he never looked that interested last time at Market Rasen when the blinkers returned; cheekpieces did nothing for him when tried before.
