Commentary

Lightly-raced 3-y-o who was very much on the up in 4 all-weather starts earlier this year. Value for extra when last seen completing a double on handicap debut at Lingfield in early-June. Since undergone a breathing operation and remains totally unexposed as he bids for a hat-trick on turf debut.

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