Commentary

Going through a good spell at the moment and added another win to his tally when again making all at Musselburgh last week. Faces competition for the lead on this occasion, though.

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