Commentary

Boasts excellent Chester record with 3 course wins and finished good second there in July. Not seen to best effect at York and back at Chester last 2 runs. Can't be totally dismissed.

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