Commentary

Resumed from 9 months off with success in 16-runner handicap over 1m at Leopardstown in June. Seemed anchored by 6 lb rise over the same C&D a month later and with cheekpieces back on, he made little impression at Galway last time.

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.
