Commentary

Veteran who is a 6-time winner here and he arrives having bounced back to his best when emphatically landing 7-runner handicap at Carlisle (11f) 3 weeks ago. This looks to demand more however from 6 lb higher mark.

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.
