Commentary

Unreliable maiden for James Horton. Yet to fire in 2 runs for new handler but better signs with seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m, all-weather) 11 days ago. No surprise to see him take a step forward here.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
