Commentary

Finally gained compensation for a string of runner-up efforts when off the mark over C&D in June. Much better effort since when good third at Pontefract 9 days ago and she should be on the premises again.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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