Commentary

Course winner who added to his tally in decisive fashion at Goodwood (9f) in June. Has failed to make an impact on both subsequent starts, left poorly placed the way things developed when ninth of 10 at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last month. Others more persuasive.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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