Commentary

Progressed gradually in maidens before finding drop back in trip against him at Navan (6f). Shaped well having got no sort of run when third of 7 in nursery (12/1) at Galway (7f, soft) 4 days ago and remains open to progress, though isn't sure to benefit from return to sprinting.

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.
