Commentary

His smart 2-y-o form seems a thing of the past but his close seconds over C&D (heavy) and at Thirsk (good to soft) in recent weeks show he's down to a mark he can win from.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. 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.
