Commentary

Dual 6f winner for Ed Bethell in 2025. Lightly raced for current yard and in good form first 2 runs at Newcastle before being poorly drawn at York (6f, good to soft) when last seen out in May. This is no easy return but he has won off a break.

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.
