Commentary

High-class juvenile who won the Norfolk Stakes before missing the rest of his 2-y-o campaign. Returned in April with a routine win in a listed race at Navan but has gone the wrong way since and has plenty of questions to answer with blinkers now removed.

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.

Held its own mid-division in 1 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 0 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
