Commentary

Has proved well suited by the drop to 6f, easily winning Ripon maiden and Hamilton handicap before pushing Thunder Call close in an often informative 3-y-o contest at York in June. Solid efforts in defeat in good-quality handicaps subsequently and can give another good account.

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.
