Commentary

Made an encouraging start in handicaps when a close third at Leicester and built on that with a 3¼ lengths success from Saisons D'or in 11-runner race (8/11) at Wolverhampton (7f) 7 days ago. A 6-lb penalty may not be enough to stop him from following up.

What the class read says

Has campaigned at a higher grade and now drops into weaker company. Dropping in class here looks deliberate, not a concession. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Ran mid-division in 1 of 2 higher-class runs.

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

Class-adjusted form 4.4 /10 (raw 5.3)
