Commentary

Better than ever since switched to front-running tactics with wins over 1¼m at Chelmsford and Chester in the spring. Also very good second of 16 in handicap at Epsom (1¼m) in June and showed he can be competitive at listed level when 3¼ lengths fourth at Windsor (11.5f, good to soft) 25 days ago.

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.
