Commentary

Lightly-raced gelding who displayed promise initially for Ed Bethell but has largely struggled this year, including in a couple of starts for new connections this summer. Cheekpieces on first time.

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.

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

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