Commentary

Bounced back to winning ways in the Summer Cup at Thirsk (1m) in August. Form has been in-and-out since, though, down the field at Ascot (1m) 15 days ago. Has soon dropped back below his last winning mark at least.

What the class read says

The stable looks to have run this horse in stronger races to keep its official rating low — today's class drop may be intentional. Worth watching at a price. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Held its own mid-division in 4 of 5 stronger races — solid form context.

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