Commentary

Multiple Flat/hurdles winner upon joining present yard and proved well suited by the increased emphasis on stamina when bolting up in 6-runner handicap hurdle at Stratford (2¾m) in July. Struggled in a good-quality handicap back on the level at Goodwood but this is much less competitive.

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.

Held its own mid-division in 3 of 4 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 3 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
