Commentary

Doubled his hurdles tally under a positive ride over C&D in November prior to a solid fourth at Cheltenham. Been a mixed bag since, however, and ran poorly here latest. Cheekpieces back on. Others preferred.

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 2 of 2 stronger races — solid form context.

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