Commentary

Fair form when third in a pair of 1¼m maidens for Brian Meehan last year. Didn't take to hurdling for current yard and well beaten on qualifying run on Flat return at Pontefract (1¼m) latest. Hopes of a revival rest on the switch to a handicap/markedly longer trip.

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.

Held its own mid-division in 1 of 6 stronger races — solid form context.

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