Commentary

Fairly useful sort. Settled better than previously in this sphere when beaten 15 lengths in the Galway Hurdle before finding a Premier Handicap too competitive on the Flat last time. Paul Townend prefers Beauvallon.

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. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

Ran mid-division in 1 of 2 higher-class runs.

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