Commentary

Enhanced fine record at Newcastle with back-to-back wins to start this year. Good effort when close third at C&D in May but has finished well beaten on his last 3 outings, albeit poorly drawn at York on latest.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
