Commentary

Scored at Doncaster last September and produced his best effort this season when fourth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (1½m) in July. Made little impression after a slow break at that same C&D last month and others are preferred despite dropping mark.

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 levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
