Form & Verdict
Consistent here in recent months; recorded the eighth win of his career when favourite for a 7f handicap 16 days ago; has often run well over this trip here, without winning, however, he has won over 1m on turf; 94-rated gelding is well suited by the race conditions and the stable continues in good form.
