Commentary

Built on previous promise when off the mark in 8-runner Epsom handicap (7f) in July. Took a while to hit full stride but not beaten far when fourth back at that C&D last month but he returns from 5 weeks off with stable amongst the winners and better showing not ruled out.

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 4 of 4 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 4 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
