Verdict
Bounced back to his best when belatedly off the mark in 7f Brighton handicap last month. Even better form when close second (clear of rest) back there 9 days ago and obvious claims off the same mark.

Back-to-back winner of nurseries here last autumn. Below par first 4 starts this season but responded well to headgear (retained) when second over 1m at Lingfield (all-weather) 18 days ago, albeit very much having the run of the race.

Dead-heated for new stable in 6f Chelmsford maiden in February. Best effort in handicaps since when fourth of 10 over C&D a fortnight ago but it underlines he needs a bit more from this mark.

Verdict
Back on track with second of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month and her subsequent C&D effort can be forgiven as she was left with a lot to do after dropping in from a wide stall.
