Commentary

Lightly-raced 3-y-o who was much improved when defeating Tiernan in a Pontefract maiden in July. Hasn't built on that in a couple of warm handicap since, though an overly aggressive ride hardly helped his cause when trailing the field in the Melrose last time.

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.
