Commentary

Won 3 times over hurdles in 2024/25 campaign but has drawn a blank since. Latest C&D fifth in first-time cheekpieces (retained) was respectable but he's no good thing to build on it.

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.

Held its own mid-division in 2 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

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