Commentary

A fair 5f maiden at 2yrs but he's been well below his best in a pair of handicaps (around 5f) at Thirsk and York this summer. Needs a first-time visor to spark a resurgence.

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. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

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.
