Commentary

A fairly useful 6f/7f performer for A. De Mieulle in Qatar early in 2025. Made light of a 17-month absence for new yard with success in 18-runner handicap at Thirsk 22 days ago. Saddles a 5 lb penalty but runner-up has gone in since and a likely player here with few miles still on the clock.

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.
