Commentary

Given a considerate introduction in a valuable newcomers race at Sandown last summer. Fair third behind above-average types both starts this year, latterly beaten 2½ lengths in a steadily-run novice at Kempton (1m). In the right hands to progress and looks the most solid option here.

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.

Held its own mid-division in 1 of 2 stronger races — solid form context.

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