Commentary

C&D winner in summer 2024 and in top form around this time last year, finishing runner-up 3 times on the bounce. Underperformed in first-time cheekpieces at Nottingham when last seen in October and the suspicion is he will need this. Headgear discarded.

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.

Ran mid-division in 1 of 1 higher-class runs.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
