Commentary

Struggled at sprint distances but found 7f much more to his liking when off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Brighton. A steadily-run 1m didn't suit as well at Kempton last week but this test should be more to his liking.

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. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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

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