Form & Verdict
Well backed prior to second over 1m here 12 days ago, hassled for the lead early before kicking clear in the straight; couldn't see off the late thrust of an in-form rival there but the pair were clear and he can have the run upgraded; 4lb rise along with wide draw could leave him vulnerable this time; blinkers tried last time are now replaced with a visor.

Something of an outlier in that he's made the move to James Owen this year and hasn't immediately found top form, including when backed in a Class 6 here three weeks ago (1m); things likely to click at some point but others look safer for now.
