Off 16 months prior to return and showed the benefit of a recent run when second of 14 in maiden hurdle at Bellewstown (2½m, good) just over 3 weeks ago. In the shake-up with a repeat.

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.

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.
