Commentary

C&D winner in July. Creditable third back here a fortnight later but below par at other venues since. Needs a return to Chester to spark a revival.

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