Form & Verdict

Wasn't winning out of turn when landing a 1m2f handicap at Newcastle two weeks ago, his first crack at that trip; that win was backed up by the Topspeed figure and he's still feasibly treated up just 2lb; travelled strongly but couldn't quite get there in C&D handicap yesterday; solid claims once again.
