Form & Verdict
Ended losing run going back to his 2yo days when scoring in a big field over this trip at York in July 2023; didn't repeat the form twice afterwards and now returns from a long break; unplaced both AW outings, but on the plus side his mark has fallen back to his last winning one and he has joined a yard that does well with recruits from other stables.
