Commentary

Had gone off the boil when last seen on the Flat here last autumn. Back in form when successful over hurdles earlier this summer but hard to be confident he'll translate that form back on the level following 3 months away.

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. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

Finished in the top 3 in 2 of 4 stronger races — strong class form.

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