Commentary

Won a Bath maiden in June but has struggled to get competitive in 4 subsequent outings, a marked change of tactics backfiring when sixth of 8 on nursery debut at Yarmouth (6f, good) a fortnight ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere having his second all-weather outing.

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.

Held its own mid-division in 4 of 5 stronger races — solid form context.

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