Commentary

Back-to-back winner at Newcastle early in the year and has been shaping up quite well, second home on his side in a big field at Ripon last month. Easy to forgive next run on heavy ground so remains one to take seriously.

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. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

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.
