back in headgear, produced a career best to defy a higher mark than ever before, deploying a turn of foot to good effect in a steadily-run race back at 1¼m; patiently ridden, good headway out wide from 2f out, stayed on to lead final 50 yds; it's unlikely he's much better than this but he should continue to run well.

ran as well in defeat as when winning the time before; chased leaders, challenged under 2f out, upsides inside final 1f, kept on; he's as effective at 1½m, maybe more so.

continues in good heart but was found wanting for finishing speed back down in trip, probably better at 1½m nowadays, especially on the all-weather; prominent, led under pressure under 2f out, headed inside final 1f, one paced.

a useful winner in Italy, seemed to run well on form on first outing since leaving A. & S. Botti after 4 months off but wasn't at any stage competitive and will need to improve to win a handicap from this sort of mark; held up, effort 2f out, not quicken, never landed a blow.

back on tapeta, is best not judged on this run, unsuited by the way things developed up at a trip he probably doesn't stay; held up, not settle fully, pushed along 2f out, not quicken, not persevered with once held; he's back on a good mark if there's a race for him at Southwell in the near future.

A useful standard but it was an exposed field and the bunched finish is enough to suggest it's not strong form; the pace was steady, making for a speed test.
