Commentary

Won 5 times in 2025 and again at Kempton and Newcastle this year. Last week's Stewards' Cup defeat easy enough to excuse (not best placed) but the evidence is mounting up that he's better on all-weather.

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.
