Commentary

Is well proven in the mud, winning novice at Ayr last winter and ran well when third in heavy-ground handicap at Beverley (1½m, heavy) 23 days ago. Cheekpieces go on for the first time and he's another that would appreciate more rain.

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 3 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

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