Rated just 45 with poor form showing a sequence of 20109/ and dismissed at 16/1 in the market.
Break Point's mid-range Saturday Rating of 51 and inconsistent form of 023-65 at 11/2 odds justify a cautious 3-star rating.
Moderate Saturday Rating of 52 and inconsistent form figures 3-8437 limit confidence despite fair 5/1 odds.
A Saturday Rating of 41, poor form showing 7339U4, and 12/1 odds signal market doubt and inconsistency.

What the money's doing in this race — biggest price movements across the bookmakers since the last odds sync.
Balgowan (SR 65, 7/4) is the clear class-leader in this modest field, sitting 4 SRs clear of nearest rival Nelson Gate and carrying a favourable 9-7 — 2lb less than Nelson Gate despite superior ability. The form string 74-312 shows consistent placing at this class with a recent win (rightmost digit 2 indicates close-up finish), and the 7/4 market confidence is well-founded for a horse with the strongest SR in the race. At 7 years old on Good to Soft over a stamina-testing 1m7f218y, Balgowan's experience over a searching trip is a further advantage over the younger, less exposed rivals. Each-way alternative: Nelson Gate. Main danger: Nelson Gate — Nelson Gate (SR 61, 3/1) is second-highest rated, trained by the in-form Gary & Josh Moore yard, and the 3/1 second-favourite price reflects genuine market respect — the 92276 form includes competitive runs at a higher class and a return to form could see him threaten on this stamina test.
