Lightly raced, he opened his account when winning a maiden hurdle at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in January; made a pleasing start over fences when runner-up at this track (2m4f, good) last month on his handicap debut, before leaving Olly Murphy for £30,000; drops back in trip without the hood worn previously and has potential to improve over fences.
AI verdict
Favourable weight of 11-10 gives a real edge in this handicap.
