back in calmer waters, and taking on his elders for the first time, and wasted no time getting back on the up, avoiding all the scrimmaging but still deserving credit for putting distance between himself and his rivals off a steady gallop; mid-field, shaken up 3f out, led under 2f out, forged clear; on a cautionary note, his profile is a bit in-and-out.
