Commentary

Returned to his best when opening his account for current yard at Thirsk (7f) in May. Back to form when close third at Chester (6f, good) last month and shaped as if still in good nick when fifth over 7f at Haydock (soft) 13 days ago.

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.
