Commentary

Opened his account over fences in a 2¼m maiden at Galway earlier this month, beating Mongibello by 2¾ lengths having again kept mistakes to a minimum. Respected but his jumping will need to hold up again if he is to play a hand in the finish.

What the class read says

Stepping up in grade without clear higher-class evidence yet. Not automatically a negative, especially for a lightly-raced or progressive type. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.

Dropping 7 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
