Successful at Chester (7f) on debut a year ago but hasn't gone on in handicaps, finishing down the field on his last 3 runs (well backed at Kempton latest).

What the class read says

The stable looks to have run this horse in stronger races to keep its official rating low — today's class drop may be intentional. Worth watching at a price. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Held its own mid-division in 4 of 5 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
