Commentary

Recorded back-to-back nursery wins over 6f last year. Right back to his best when ½-length second at Fairyhouse (6f, good to soft) in June and given a break since a lesser run at the Curragh at the end of that month.

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.
