Commentary

Didn't arrive in much form but capitalised on a sliding mark in 5-runner event at Chepstow (1¼m) last month. Unable to confirm that effort from a 4 lb higher mark when sixth of 11 at Chester (10.5f) 10 days ago but looks worth chancing returned to a 0-60 under forecast testing conditions.

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 5 of 5 stronger races — solid form context.

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