Commentary

Progressive sort who gained a first win at York (5.5f) in July. Very good third of 21 off 6 lb higher in another 5.5f handicap there 13 days ago. That form has been franked so he's very much one to consider.

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.
