Form & Verdict
1-1 over C&D; two good efforts since returning from latest seven-month absence but ran moderately when twelfth of 14 at York last time; 11l margin of defeat does him some disservice though (squeezed out then eased) and this drop in grade can help him bounce back; easiest task on turf for years; interesting.

Impressive over C&D (good to firm; first-time tongue-tie) in April; second at Yarmouth (5f, good to firm) in August and has probably been running better than it looks in three starts this month, latterly when not staying 6f ten days ago; might surprise a few.
