Form & Verdict

Lightly raced 5yo who made it 2-3 here with his emphatic win in a classified event over C&D last month; finished fourth of 15 under a penalty in a Chepstow handicap last time but that was a bold bid and he probably did too much too soon; up another 4lb but still has scope for further progress and he's respected back at this track.
