Commentary

Ended a long losing sequence in 13-runner handicap at Ayr (1¼m, good to firm) in August and emerged with plenty of credit having been in front well before the winner in a strongly-run race when runner up at Haydock 12 days ago. Can be competitive again on back of a 2 lb rise.

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