Commentary

Returned to his best when scoring in good style at Newmarket (1m) in May, though did benefit from a good position. Mixed form since, third at the same venue in July but producing a lacklustre effort when sixth of 10 there 5 weeks ago.

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. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Held its own mid-division in 2 of 2 stronger races — solid form context.

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