Exposed 21-race maiden; went close in 7f handicap at Wolverhampton in November but raced freely and dropped away over that C&D last month; down in grade but he will need to settle better back up in trip.

His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race.
