Form & Verdict

Came good with back-to-back wins over C&D and he found more progress when going close in his hat-trick bid at Thirsk (7f) last Monday; went down fighting behind the favourite in that race and he's a major player again off the same mark back on Tapeta.

7f win at Musselburgh in August was followed by four low-key efforts (7f to 1m1f) but the addition of a visor and a drop to 6f prompted significant improvement here on Friday, travelling strongly before bounding clear in the final furlong to win by 10l; headgear not sure to be so effective a second time but he's clearly thrown in under a 6lb penalty.
