Commentary

Successful in pair of 11f handicaps during the spring and back to that sort of form returned to all-weather when finishing good third at Kempton (1½m, 11/2) 12 days ago, clear of rest. Still to prove himself on ground softer than good but he appeals as being on an exploitable mark and worth a look.

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 3 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
