Commentary

Quirky sort who snatched defeat from the jaws of victory at Leicester earlier this summer (hit 1.01 on Betfair Exchange). Added another runner-up finish to his CV in Ripon classified event latest. May again have to settle for minor honours back in handicap company.

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.
