Commentary

Doubled his tally in handicaps at Hamilton (1m) in August but not for the first time this year he failed to back that up when sixth of 9 at Carlisle (1m) 4 weeks ago. Not discounted on best form for all he's tricky to predict.

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. 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.
