Commentary

Won at Doncaster and Yarmouth in July. Only sixth of 9 at Lingfield 30 days ago but he is better when getting a stronger gallop. C&D winner but not sure to get the race run to suit.

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.

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