Commentary

Winner at Yarmouth in June and has run respectably enough on his last 2 starts, most recently when fifth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, all-weather) 14 days ago. Others still make greater appeal for win purposes, though.

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. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Held its own mid-division in 3 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 3 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.

What the projection says

Finishes ahead of its price historically, but the delivery record alone does not predict today's finish — it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 9th of 9.
