Down the field all 4 starts during a light 2025 campaign and offered little after 8 months off at Nottingham (6f) in June. Tongue strap goes on.

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. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Held its own mid-division in 2 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 3 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
