Commentary

Very much a Fontwell specialist, gaining fourth win here in 5-runner contest over 19f 2 weeks ago. Well positioned how things panned out on that occasion and up 4 lb but he's as effective at this trip and clearly demands respect.

What the class read says

Ran competitively despite going/trip that didn't suit it, at this same level — those runs look worse on paper than they were. Back in its own suited conditions today. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
