Commentary

Stepped up on reappearance in August when good third of 9 over C&D 21 days ago, keeping on well. First-time cheekpieces might see him get rolling a bit earlier here and he's one to be very interested in with Billy Loughnane taking over.

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 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
