Commentary

Frankel filly who looked well on the up when bagging novice at Thirsk and handicap at Newmarket (both over 1½m) this summer. Came in last of 7 at Salisbury (1½m, good) last time but is well worth another chance.

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 3 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
