Commentary

Much improved since switched to handicaps over staying trips. making light of a 6 lb rise for his Salisbury success when taking 8-runner handicap at Kempton (2m) 2 weeks ago, impressing in coming from near-last to first under hands-and-heels ride. Big player in hat-trick bid.

What the class read says

The stable looks to have run this horse in stronger races to keep its official rating low — today's class drop may be intentional. Worth watching at a price. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Held its own mid-division in 3 of 3 stronger races — solid form context.

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