Commentary

Strong form when second on debut at Redcar (good) last winter. On the up winning 2 of 4 starts on all-weather this season, justifying support with more authority than the 1½-length winning margin would imply at Wolverhampton last time. Remains capable of better on just his second turf start.

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.
