Commentary

Maiden winner at Hamilton in June and shaped well tackling 6f for the first time when narrowly denied in Glorious Goodwood nursery, caught late having hung right. Blotted his copybook by almost refusing to race at York so now looks one to be slightly wary of.

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.
