Commentary

Returned from a 4-month break in good form, finishing third of 10 at Newmarket 35 days ago before good second of 11 here 14 days ago and he looks to be right at the top of his game so merits plenty of respect.

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

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

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