Commentary

Off the mark following a breathing operation at Doncaster (6f) last summer. More miss than hit since but returned from 7 weeks away with an immediate upturn on the back of a second breathing operation when third at aforementioned track (7f) in June. Makes all-weather debut after another break.

What the class read says

Has campaigned at a higher grade and now drops into weaker company. Dropping in class here looks deliberate, not a concession. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Held its own mid-division in 5 of 5 stronger races — solid form context.

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