Commentary

Broke duck over hurdles when winning at Catterick (2m) in February and performed well in defeat next 3 outings. Produced a rare below-par effort at Kelso when last seen in May and very much the type to bounce back quickly.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.

Dropping 3 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
