Commentary

Smooth-travelling type who has won 3 of his last 4 starts, latest when taking 5-runner minor event hurdle at Downpatrick (2¼m, good, 2/1) 47 days ago, kept up to work. This is tougher but he can't be ruled out.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

Dropping 0 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
