Commentary

Won over this trip at Sandown in August, belatedly winning a first handicap, but struggled upped to 1½m at Epsom last time. This looks easier back in selling company but needs to bounce back.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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