Commentary

Fair form at best in Ireland for Kieran Patrick Cotter and shaped well since joining new yard, though didn't seem at home going-right handed when fifth of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh (7f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Returns to 6f and appeals as the type to bounce back.

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.
