Commentary

Wide-margin winner of 6f Kempton maiden on return. Progressed again when following up in 22-runner affair on handicap debut at York (6f, good to firm) in June. Ran at least as well in defeat at Newmarket since and remains open to improvement, with this stiffer track promising to suit.

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.
