Commentary

Winner of back-to-back all-weather nurseries at the end of last year (including C&D). More miss than hit this season but is feasibly handicapped if a return to all-weather sparks a revival.

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.

Finished in the top 3 in 2 of 6 stronger races — strong class form.

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