Commentary

Didn't need to be at his best to land the odds in maiden at Pontefract (6f) in May. Took his form up a notch when following up on handicap debut at Catterick (7f) in July and creditable efforts since, latterly 3 lengths third of 8 at Epsom (7f, good). Tackles 1m for first time now.

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 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
