Commentary

Bagged 7f Thirsk maiden last July but has failed to make an impact in 3 handicaps at up to 1¼m this season, albeit unsuited by the switch the hold-up tactics in a modestly-run race at Beverley last time. Down another 4 lb.

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.

Held its own mid-division in 4 of 5 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 5 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
