Commentary

Quirky sort but arrives in decent heart with in-frame efforts on his last 3 starts, again finding only one too strong in 8-runner handicap at Ayr 3 days ago. Drops back in grade here so he enters calculations.

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 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
