Commentary

Lightly raced for his age, having 2 starts over hurdles early this year before running well back on the Flat when third of 7 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f) in June (only a neck behind Educator in second). Shortlisted on the back of his latest effort.

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 2 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

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