Form & Verdict

Has turned things around again with blinkers enlisted this summer, making all here (6f) in May and also ridden from the front when in the frame in the Wokingham and 7f Bunbury Cup; 12-1 when failing to perform in the same vein in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood two weeks ago but he unseated his rider to post and was badly hampered late on when beaten; needs a second look.
