Immediately shaped better switched to a nursery when third of 10 at Leicester (7f, good) just over a fortnight ago, going on encouragingly at the line. Has potential for better again returned to 1m so warrants considerable respect.

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. 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.
