Commentary

Peaked when landing big-field 6f handicap at Haydock off this mark last spring. Shaped well a few times after but ended the season below par and was far too free on his belated return 3 weeks ago.

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.
