Commentary

Took quite well to chasing last season, winning handicap at Punchestown. Shaped a bit better than being pulled up suggests at Wexford in June with tack issue. Isn't the most fluent of chasers but interesting to see if he can step up on that effort.

What the class read says

Ran competitively despite going/trip that didn't suit it, at this same level — those runs look worse on paper than they were. Back in its own suited conditions today. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.
