Form & Verdict
Promise in a trio of maidens so far; not obviously well treated on handicap debut but could improve back up in trip; interesting runner if the market speaks in his favour.

Sole win in 22 starts came in a heavy-ground 1m3f maiden in 2023; placed in a maiden hurdle 12 days ago but that's modest form and hadn't threatened in his previous Flat handicaps before that.

Decent strike-rate of 3-16 on turf but gives the impression he needs further than this trip these days; tailed off over hurdles last week.

Got his head back in front on AW last year and ran well in defeat twice subsequently; however, will probably need this after 450 days off and this trip is on the short side.
