Commentary

Opened chase account at Wincanton in November and doubled tally in another small-field affair at Stratford in March. Rare poor effort at latter track 2 months later and off since, leaving Suzy Smith in that time. More likely than not to bounce back given overall profile.

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. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

Finished in the top 3 in 4 of 5 stronger races — strong class form.

Dropping 3 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
