Commentary

Showed fair form without winning in France and shaped quite well on her first 2 starts in Britain. May have found the race coming too soon when failing to beat a rival at Carlisle (7f, firm, 12/1) 25 days ago and is down in class here after some help from the handicapper.

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

Held its own mid-division in 3 of 4 stronger races — solid form context.

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