Does have to give 7lbs to his main market rivals here, but has the benefit of some racecourse experience from last season where having run well in the Convivial Maiden at York, which always throws up plenty of decent performers he then won really well at Kempton, dominating the race from the front and quickening in style. He’s reportedly thrived through the winter and is highly regarded by the Hugo Palmer yard. He’s expected to prove hard to beat.
