Commentary

Dual C&D winner last winter who confirmed his return to form when a close fourth here (7f) 2 weeks ago. Return to this trip will suit so he needs considering.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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