Placed on debut, indicating some ability, but the wide barrier 14 is a significant hurdle. If it can overcome the draw, it has shown enough to be competitive.
From the Chris Anderson stable with Daniel Moor in the saddle, and a good barrier 6. Despite no placings in four starts, the connections and draw suggest improvement is expected here.
