Good third in a valuable race on handicap debut; should have more in the locker

Creeping up the weights but has scope to improve for this longer trip

One-paced second in a small field here latest; gives the impression he wants further

Won five handicaps; possibly needed his comeback race and that was encouraging

Down the weights in new headgear and returning to softer ground looks a big plus

Consistent in the main but the season hasn't started well; non-runner
