Form & Verdict
Pulled too hard in first-time cheekpieces on penultimate start; hooded four weeks later when breaking his duck (eighth attempt) in 13-runner 7f handicap on Kempton Polytrack, coming from the rear under Tommie Jakes; back up 2lb but that's a lot more than most of these have shown recently.
