Commentary

Useful effort when making it 2 from 3 in novices with a wide-margin defeat of 6 rivals over 7f at Haydock (good to soft) in first-time cheekpieces 15 days ago. Still quite flighty in the preliminaries at Haydock but could be more to come if his quirks can be kept in check.

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.
