Made all at Pontefract (5f, good to soft; has won on good to firm) in April; beaten only a head over C&D off 1lb higher in May and arguably unlucky not to go close at the least over C&D again last time, finishing well for fourth having met trouble at a crucial stage; his draw isn't ideal but still respected.
