Commentary

Better than ever when winning 13-runner handicap at Leopardstown (1m) in July. Failed to repeat that effort from a 7 lb higher mark at Gowran, though a bit more like it when third to Sonoran at Navan 2 weeks ago given he was briefly short of room.

What the class read says

Ran competitively despite going/trip that didn't suit it, at this same level — those runs look worse on paper than they were. Back in its own suited conditions today. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.
