Commentary

Free-going sort who added to his debut success (when trained by Clive Cox) in handicap at Leicester (1¼m) in May. Posted a good second under a penalty next time but down the field the last twice, most recently after 12 weeks off at Chester a fortnight ago. May come on from that here.

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 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
