Well below the fairly useful form he showed in the autumn when beaten odds-on favourite in Plumpton maiden (2m, good) in April but made amends when winning tactical match race at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month; his profile is still not entirely convincing but he has strong claims here.

Favourable weight of 11-9 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Very useful on the Flat in his prime, with career highlight his 2023 Bunbury Cup success (7f; unraced beyond about 1m); absent since two below-par runs in spring 2024, though, and tricky to weigh up on stable/hurdle debut.

Miles clear with one other when beaten just over 1l in a Market Rasen 0-125 handicap latest (3m, good; RPR 118), and this novice contest isn't anywhere near as deep; yet to register form of that calibre with give underfoot, but possible he could get away with it here even if rain arrives.
