Commentary

Has won all 3 times he's raced on ground softer than good, including a C&D handicap at this meeting last year. Below par on good ground in last month's Lanark Silver Bell at Hamilton but better expected back under his favoured conditions. Has first-time blinkers added to his tongue tie.

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.
