Commentary

Fairly useful hurdler, winning 5 times in handicaps, though not always the most straightforward. Making only second chase start (pulled up on first occasion), attracted support following another breathing operation but finished last of 4 over this C&D 11 days ago.

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. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

Finished in the top 3 in 2 of 4 stronger races — strong class form.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
