It takes a while to get him fit but he is getting there now.'I´ve been very pleased with his recent work and he will probably run at Newmarket on May 19 in a valuable new race that they are staging.'That looks an ideal starting point for his campaign, which will take in another tilt at both the Northumberland Plate and the Ebor,' he told www.newmarketracecourses.co.uk.(C) PA Sport
