Not the force of old and further decline this year, though at least fared better for a while when third here (1m) 22 days ago, albeit beaten almost 5 lengths.

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