Commentary

Fairly useful on Flat. Notched first of 4 small-field victories over C&D in a progressive novice season. Emerged with credit when beaten 8¼ lengths in the Summer Hurdle. Trainer quick to blame the track for his latest effort at Chester and interesting that stable jockey prefers him to Squeezebox.

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