Commentary

Brought along steadily but came in last of 8 in nursery at Chelmsford (1m) in November on final run for Jack Channon. At least offered a little bit to work on when fifth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago but more will be required again.

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