Commentary

Benefited from the step up in trip as she showed improved form switched to a nursery when second of 7 at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) last month. Nudged up 2 lb but every chance she will be in the shake-up.

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 3 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 4 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
