Commentary

Fair maiden on the Flat (best effort at 12.5f) but it's a little concerning he was sold out of Joseph Patrick O'Brien's yard for only 2,000 gns.

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. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.
