Commentary

Once-fairly useful performer in this sphere for Denis Hogan. Discouraging effort over hurdles on what was effectively his stable debut/reappearance at Newton Abbot in early-June. Something to prove reverted to the Flat in more severe headgear.

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.

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