Commentary

French recruit who showed more than on first 2 starts for current yard when tenth in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham. Completed a simple task in maiden at Downpatrick (2¾m) in May, before a good second in novice at the Galway Festival. Can make a bold bid.

What the class read says

Dropping in class from recent starts. Whether that's a positive depends on intent — worth checking the yard's record placing horses down in grade. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.

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

Dropping 6 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
