Commentary

Sole success came in 5f Southwell novice in 2025 but took his form up a level when runner-up in 5f handicaps at Southwell and Newmarket in July. Not been seen to best effect from poor draws at Goodwood twice subsequently. Figures on a handy mark and not without interest in first-time blinkers.

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.
