The ratings differential here is too large to ignore; the horse is operating on a level nearly two stones above his current handicap mark according to the speed figures. He returns to a course and distance where he has previously tasted success, and the stable has clearly targeted this race by finding a scenario where he is 'weighted to win' (running off a lower mark than his last victory). While he usually sits off the pace, his superior cruising speed should allow him to stay within striking distance of the lone leader before his class edge tells in the final half-mile.

Beaten favourite last time out but has excuses. He was running over a distance well short of his best. Back up to 3 miles here and he was in good form prior to that last race. Floe, he could bounce back for top stable.
