Commentary

Winless for some time but pretty consistent in defeat for bulk of last season (when trained by Alan King). Unlucky not to shed maiden tag over hurdles at Warwick in May and seemed unsuited by the step up in trip at Cartmel last time. Market should still prove best guide back on the level.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

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