Form & Verdict
The return to turf, and to a visor from blinkers, has helped, with him a clear second at Hamilton before winning narrowly at Thirsk last Friday; is effectively 11lb higher under the penalty, which leaves him quite a bit on his plate.

Began the year with a mark 24lb higher but it's been a struggle in handicaps, latterly for new yard; latest effort, when running into dead end after dead end in the straight at Haydock (7f, good; blinkers first time) was a bit more encouraging and he may have found his level now.
