Commentary

Useful listed winner on the Flat when trained by S. Kobayashi in France. Won novice hurdle at Uttoxeter from 2 starts for Robert Eddery when last seen in 2024. Probably best watched unless market speaks otherwise on handicap/yard debut.

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.

Finished in the top 3 in 2 of 4 stronger races — strong class form.

Dropping 1 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
