Commentary

Maiden who was forced into a change of tactics after a slow start and wasn't seen to best effect as a result when sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield last month. Also better than the result over 7f 19 days ago so not without hope at this level.

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 3 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

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