Veteran who got back on the scoreboard at Doncaster in June but has largely disappointed since, including when backed at long odds at Redcar 2 weeks ago.

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. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Held its own mid-division in 3 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

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