Commentary

Back on the up since the visor went on and made all in 7-runner handicap at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 11 days ago, closed down only late on having been well clear 2f out. Expected to be bang there despite 5 lb rise.

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. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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.
