Commentary

Signed off 2025 with a useful victory in listed race at Ascot. Needs to prove he retains that ability, though, having run poorly on first start back for Andrew Balding (following an ordinary spell over hurdles). Now sports tongue strap.

What the class read says

Has campaigned at a higher grade and now drops into weaker company. Dropping in class here looks deliberate, not a concession. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Finished in the top 3 in 2 of 4 stronger races — strong class form.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
