Commentary

Capitalised on a much-reduced mark in 1m July course handicap on penultimate start. Had still looked fairly treated on the best of his old form, but he wasn't in the same form when trailing the field over the same C&D 8 weeks ago.

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.
