Commentary

Bounced back to best when scoring at Beverley (1¼m) in May, albeit suited by the way the race developed. Second there the following month but needs to bounce back after a lesser effort at Ayr last time.

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