Commentary

On his return from a 10-month absence, he made an encouraging start for these connections (left John & Thady Gosden 58,000 gns) when second in a 1¼m Sandown handicap in July. Nowhere near the same form when down the field at Ascot since, though.

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