Commentary

Fair middle-distance winner on the Flat who shaped nicely under a considerate ride when third on hurdles debut at Uttoxeter in June. Failed to build on that next 2 starts but cheekpieces on first time in this code and big career best when winning at Worcester. More to come upped further in trip.

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.
