Commentary

Forged clear to get off the mark in a novice at Hamilton last month. Subsequent fifth in Silver Bell there looks to have substance, and he was only bettered by a thriving one when ¾-length second at Kempton latest. Expected to give a good account returning to turf.

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