Commentary

Useful gelding. 22/1, respectable eleventh of 22 in handicap at the Curragh (1¼m, good to soft) 9 days ago, having to pick way through. Yard is no stranger to success in this race.

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.
