Hung left throughout but still managed third at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) in May; similar form at evens when third of five at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) one month ago, meeting a little late interference but he needs to improve in the new cheekpieces over the extra 1f if he's to fare better today.
