Commentary

Had some strong form prior to getting back on the up with success in the Stewards' Cup last month. Greater emphasis on stamina told when fading into fifth (narrowly behind Dance In The Storm) in strong renewal of the Constantine at York (good to soft) since. May again find a few too strong.

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.
