Commentary

Runner-up in this race last year from a 1 lb lower mark and later successful at Wetherby during a consistent spell. Returns with the yard in good form and should be thereabouts.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.

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

What the projection says

Edging ahead of its price lately — not a standalone signal; it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 5th of 6. Recent form is easing off.
