Commentary

Thrived last autumn when a 3-time 1m winner. Ran well when third at Hamilton on return in May but below par both starts since, though shaping as if needing Carlisle run 3 weeks ago after 4 months off. Has now dipped below his last winning mark.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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