Commentary

Showed a likeable attitude to get off the mark at Carlisle (7f) last month and has backed it up with good second placings at Beverley and Redcar since. Can go well again off the same mark.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Ran mid-division in 1 of 1 higher-class runs.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
