Commentary

Smart sort who landed the Champions Sprint at Ascot (soft) in 2024. Showed he's still really smart on his day when second in York Group 2 on reappearance in May. Has come up short in Group 1 company on his 2 outings since but a potential class act with his sights lowered.

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. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

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

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
