Commentary

Made a promising debut in Ireland before winning consecutive novices at Goodwood/Lingfield last autumn. Advanced his form this season with back-to-back seconds at Kempton. Type to benefit from first-time blinkers (went in snatches latest) and isn't fully exposed returning to turf. Interesting.

What the class read says

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

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
