Commentary

Consistent rather than progressive in 4 starts to date. Plugged on to finish 4¾ lengths fourth in a 7f Catterick maiden latest. Still respected switched to a handicap by excellent yard and looks worth a go over this trip (despite being speedily bred).

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.

Finished in the top 3 in 2 of 3 stronger races — strong class form.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
