Commentary

Upped to 7f and fitted with cheekpieces, showed improved form when making a successful nursery debut at Beverley last month. Followed-up at Leicester 10 days later and he's respected with this extra furlong promising to suit.

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.
