Commentary

Reacted well to a first-time tongue tie (added to regular cheekpieces) when getting up in the dying strides over 1½m at Epsom (good to firm) in July. Well behind Zimmerman on much more testing ground at Haydock last time, though.

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 2 of 2 stronger races — solid form context.

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