Form & Verdict

Left Ralph Beckett for 32,000gns after one run; again well beaten in two AW races (1m) last month but he now goes handicapping and could show a lot more more on this step up to 1m2f; needs a close look for in-form yard.

Form & Verdict

His last win was 17 months ago but he had some close calls at Newcastle during the winter and was a creditable fifth in big field at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) when last seen in March; remains well handicapped on old form and he needs watching in market on return.
