Commentary

Reliable sort who resumed winning ways in 5-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2½m, good) in July. Ran his usual honest race when second over C&D since. First-time visor replaces regular cheekpieces.

What the class read says

Stepping up in grade without clear higher-class evidence yet. Not automatically a negative, especially for a lightly-raced or progressive type. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.
