Commentary

Won twice over 7f in lesser grades last year, including on July course. Has been running even better in defeat of late, coming home strongly when close third at Yarmouth (1m) last time. May fall short in a better race here.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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