Form & Verdict
Regressive for Paul Midgley and expensive to follow on the AW for this yard; did respond well to the visor first going on and that's the best angle with him now tried in first-time blinkers.

Offered more on his second run back from a winter break behind Beauzon on Friday (5lb better off tonight); that made it 0-17 on the AW and there's always a chance he'll fluff the start but he does seem to like it here.

Form & Verdict
Excuses with one thing and another prior to getting it right back down to this trip at Redcar last Monday; has more potential than the rest of these and his claims are obvious, with Jack Callan's 7lb claim helping offset the 5lb penalty.

Win number five this season, four for Jack Callan, and a 5lb penalty for last Monday's Brighton victory (7f, soft) sees him 25lb higher than for his opening success in April; evidently well suited by switchback tracks and this is a different test but he'll be popular again.

Unlikely last Sunday's second in Jersey amounted to much, albeit it signalled a return to form after a poor spell on the AW; is well suited by switchback tracks and holds each-way claims but does a lot of racing now over another furlong.
