Commentary

Capitalised on a falling mark under a positive ride at Pontefract in June. However, has failed to repeat that effort in 2 subsequent outings, down the field at Newcastle 16 days ago. Cheekpieces now go back on.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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