Commentary

In good form over 1m here in blinkers last month, winning on the first occasion and showing even better form in defeat twice since. This front-runner leaves the impression he should be as effective back at 7f. Blinkers off. Player.

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.

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