Form & Verdict
Raced prominently when breaking his duck at the 12th attempt here (1m4f) on Saturday; 5lb penalty suggests he'll need some improvement to successfully follow-up, now back down in trip, but that's not ruled out.

Four wins over the winter included a C&D success under George Bass when Mc'Ted was fourth, but he's been kept busy and last week's well-held sixth at Southwell was somewhat underwhelming; needs to bounce back.

First-time cheekpieces seemed to help when fourth of 11 over 1m4f here last month but upping him to 2m wasn't the answer next time and he didn't do enough over C&D since to think this is his trip either; work to do.
