Commentary

Showed improved form in handicap hurdles last season, winning at Ascot in December and Haydock in April. Another good effort when third in the Swinton at Haydock (has had breathing operation since) and he's interesting upped in trip on chase debut for yard firmly amongst the winners.

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.

Finished in the top 3 in 2 of 4 stronger races — strong class form.

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