Commentary

Fairly useful gelding who's made the frame in all 5 starts this season and has been runner-up on 3 of his last 4, including in a 1½m 6-runner maiden at the Curragh on latest. Improvement required now back in a handicap with first-time cheekpieces applied.

What the class read says

Stepping up in grade without clear higher-class evidence yet. Not automatically a negative, especially for a lightly-raced or progressive type. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.
