Commentary

Showed much improved form after 8 months off when making all in a Wolverhampton maiden in March. Beaten only one rival in 3 subsequent outings but there are reasons to be optimistic, dropped in grade, first-time blinkers applied and Rossa Ryan back on board. Worth chancing.

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. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Held its own mid-division in 4 of 6 stronger races — solid form context.

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