after just 6 days off, showed improved form to justify support, the strong pace coupled with the drop in trip seeing him to excellent advantage but dominant nevertheless; raced off the pace, headway under pressure over 2f out, led approaching final 1f, kept on well for just hand-riding, eased inside final 50 yds, impressive; it'll make sense to turn him out under a penalty, in a couple of races at York on Saturday.

easy to back, wasn't disgraced in the end but there was an element of him making up cheap ground as the pace collapsed; in rear, outpaced, late headway, suited by the way the race developed.
