Commentary

Confirmed previous promise when making a winning reappearance in a Lingfield novice (1m) in February. Hasn't managed to improve in 2 handicaps since, though, returning from 3 months off when fifth of 12 at Newbury in July.

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. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.
