Commentary

Fairly useful 1m winner on Flat for William Haggas who showed an aptitude for hurdling on both completed starts in the spring. After a run on the level, seemed unsuited by the step up to 19f back hurdling when fourth of 15 in maiden at Kilbeggan 11 days ago.

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. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

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

Dropping 5 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
