Showed a hot pace early and stuck on well despite missing the frame, finishing fourth Romford in 25.32. Key chance on best form.

Could only manage sixth last time out over 400m at Romford, adding to some plain results of late. Can't recommend against this lot.

Flew the lids with a sizzling early split but found one better when clocking 25.04 over 400m at Romford. Close to the speed and boxed on well at the latest run. Key chance again.
