Went close over 7f on Monday but the drop back to 5f isn't an obvious plus

Not at the top of his game the last twice but on a competitive mark and not discounted

Has regressed but his run in the Ayr Silver Cup was a lot better than the bare result
6 (10)	Strong Johnson Bay J:Ben Curtis T:Paul Midgley	J:Ben Curtis T:Paul Midgley	125	—	312010	84	105	97	8d	—	—	+16	20.1	5.25/1	22 5%
