Commentary

C&D winner who underwent a breathing operation before returning in June. Just a respectable fifth of 11 in a handicap at Chester upped to 7f on latest start and needs more back at 6f and returned to all-weather here.

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. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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

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