Commentary

Sprung a 40/1 surprise in the Blue Riband Trial at Epsom last April and ended 2025 in decent form, finishing a close third in a French listed race before filling the same position in the St Simon Stakes at Newbury (1½m, heavy). Gelded and this is a tough ask after 9 months off.

What the class read says

Has campaigned at a higher grade and now drops into weaker company. Dropping in class here looks deliberate, not a concession. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Held its own mid-division in 2 of 2 stronger races — solid form context.

Dropping 0 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
