after just 7 days off, followed up from last time under a penalty; mid-field, headway over 2f out, led 2f out, tackled soon after, headed final 1f, rallied to lead again dying strides; carried head a bit awkwardly when first pressured but there was no crabbing his attitude at the business end, and there's probably more to come, arguably unlucky not to be unbeaten in handicap company.
