The going is Good To Soft.
Unexposed 4yo who made quite pleasing seasonal debut when keeping-on fourth in Southwell novice (1m3f, AW) last month; up in trip for this handicap debut, and should have more to offer.
Not seen on the Flat since well-held third on heavy ground for Ed Walker last autumn and subsequent hurdling form for Jedd O'Keeffe was not particularly inspiring; sports first-time cheekpieces; others appeal more.
Returned to the Flat with respectable fourth of six at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last month but is still 3lb higher than for narrow AW win last autumn, and his Flat turf strike-rate is 0-14.
Caused 28-1 surprise on soft ground at Leiester (1m4f) in the autumn but was below that form on his two AW starts in February (wore cheekpieces) and is too inconsistent to rely upon; no headgear today.
Now 5lb lower than when second here (1m2f, soft) last October but did not emerge from the rear division when a big-priced outsider for all three subsequent AW runs; considered only if much strong in betting today.
