Commentary

Course winner who responded well to a combination of cheekpieces and an attacking ride when landing handicap at Ascot (19f) in December. Resumed from a break with a solid third of 7 at Newton Abbot (21f, good to soft) in May. This much longer trip asks a big question though.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.

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