Form & Verdict
Second of five in a 6f maiden at Brighton on debut; similar form when midfield at Thirsk one week later; absent since (missed an intended run here having played up in the stalls), during which time he's been gelded; should stay 7f judged on breeding and he's been found a weak race for his return.
