Commentary

Heavy ground C&D winner at this meeting 2 years ago for Richard Fahey. Has yet to add to his tally for present stable but shaped well having gone off hard when second on return here in June. Had breathing operation prior to finishing third at Hamilton (5f) 2 weeks ago and he ought to be sharper now.

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.

Held its own mid-division in 4 of 4 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 3 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
