Commentary

Off the mark for the season at Goodwood in June and did well to also score in 6-runner contest at Newmarket 18 days ago, overcoming pace bias as he pulled clear with an improver. Looks to hold strong claims here.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. 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.
