Commentary

Naval Crown colt who flopped at Royal Ascot but resumed progress in no uncertain terms when off the mark in 5-runner nursery at Haydock (5f) a month ago. That performance is backed up by the clock but he then didn't look an easy ride in listed company at York. Visor quickly reached for.

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.
