Commentary

Shaped well when second in 7f Doncaster maiden on return but found test too much on softer ground when fifth at Carlisle (7f) in May. Not seen to best effect when tenth of 26 on handicap debut at Goodwood (6f) 59 days ago. Remains with potential following breathing operation.

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 3 of 4 stronger races — solid form context.

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