Commentary

Off nearly 2 years prior to return, proving he retains his ability when twice runner-up during first half of the year on all-weather/turf. However, recent exploits far less inspiring, folding tamely when last of 11 at Leicester (6f) 24 days ago. Has it to prove now.

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 6 stronger races — solid form context.

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