Commentary

Back on form with a 6f Wolverhampton win in July. Just as good when narrowly denied at Chester (6f, good) since. Same mark today.

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.
