Commentary

Won this 12 months ago and short headed by Boiling Point (who has to give him 3 lb now) in another C&D listed race in May (both good ground). Possibly unsuited by a much softer surface when well-held fifth in last month's Celebration Mile here. The type to bounce back quickly.

What the class read says

Has campaigned at a higher grade and now drops into weaker company. Dropping in class here looks deliberate, not a concession. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Held its own mid-division in 2 of 2 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 0 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
