Best effort in his qualifying runs when seventh of 11 in maiden at Beverley (5f, good) in May. Upped markedly in trip for his nursery debut/reappearance (has also been gelded).

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.

Held its own mid-division in 3 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 4 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
