Improved for the switch to handicaps in the spring, winning at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in March and finishing second of nine at Hereford (2m, good to soft) the following month, where the shorter trip appeared to find him out; not seen since, but worth a second look if the market suggests he is ready to roll.

Switch to handicaps and return of cheekpieces saw a much improved display at Taunton last month, when he ploughed through grim conditions to win by a wide margin; probably not entirely straightforward but 8lb rise might not stop him going very close again.
