Form & Verdict
Four AW wins over 6f/7f including off 70 in January (7f); generally held his form since, most recently 1.25l fourth to Sporting Hero over C&D, having been slowly away and denied a clear run; 1lb lower and rider now claims 5lb which could bring him right into the mix given better luck in running.
