Commentary

Lightly-raced 3-y-o. Gelded prior to chasing home a useful one in a very valuable Doncaster novice in July. Disappointing third in first-time cheekpieces at Hamilton (11f) subsequently. Opening mark certainly a fair one if putting his best foot forward, though, with the longer trip likely to suit.

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. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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

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