Commentary

Successful on return/stable debut at Pontefract in April and has made up into a reliable sprint handicapper typical of the yard, finishing in the frame 4 times since. Below-par effort over 7f at Ascot last time but is the type to bounce back.

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.
