Form & Verdict
Six races; third of six here (6f) in his second handicap, which he improved on markedly when front-running second of nine at Beverley (5f; tongue tied first time) three weeks ago; those best turf runs were on softer than good, but it's possible that he's just improving.

Just one win from ten starts but that was a dominant display in a 14-runner handicap over C&D (good) in October; mixed results in three subsequent runs but he went close at Wolverhampton in December and may have needed his reappearance run at Southwell in March; still looks on a workable mark and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back at this track.
