Commentary

Opened his account for the season at Redcar in July and ran up to best for current yard when doubling his tally there (1m) last month, scoring readily despite meeting trouble in running. Not disgraced back up slightly in grade at York since but handicapper seemingly in charge for now.

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