Commentary

Lightly raced 4-y-o who clearly derived plenty from his York reappearance when posting a good second at Newcastle in June, doing well to get amongst those who sat at the head of affairs. Needs to bounce back from a couple of below-par efforts on the turf.

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.
