Commentary

Won 7f Wolverhampton handicap in January for Jane Chapple-Hyam. Rather in-and-out since for new connections, but he does at least arrive on the back of a couple of solid efforts, most recently when fourth of 6 at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) last month. Back up in trip.

What the class read says

Has campaigned at a higher grade and now drops into weaker company. Dropping in class here looks deliberate, not a concession. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Held its own mid-division in 2 of 2 stronger races — solid form context.

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