Form & Verdict
Expensive to follow thus far but he has finished second in two of his four starts; heavy ground a valid excuse for a poor run on his handicap debut three weeks ago; down in class and back on a sound surface so some optimism for better this afternoon.

All runs on AW, most recently an encouraging third at Kempton on his reappearance 19 days ago (7f); makes his handicap debut off a fair mark but sharp test at this trip not sure to be optimal.
