Modest efforts so far, including when favourite at Redcar last time (6f, good to firm; didn't have the best of runs); this longer trip should suit (closely related to 7f winner); cheekpieces tried now handicapping.

Two low-grade Flat wins in 2024 (7.5f-1m); well beaten on recent Market Rasen hurdles debut (2m, juvenile maiden; 150-1); connections waste no time by dropping him into a claimer; difficult to identify a positive angle.
