His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off 2lb higher (8.4f, good to firm) in April; some creditable efforts across his 14 starts since and his racing too freely offers some excuse for a below-par run over 1m2f at Beverley 16 days ago; yard has had lots of winners in the last fortnight.
