Commentary

Fairly-useful performer on Flat for Jack Morland who has scored twice over hurdles for current yard, latest at Ludlow (2m) in April. Fairly treated back in this sphere and warrants respect.

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

Dropping 4 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
