Commentary

Took another step forward when digging deep for success in the Lincoln at Doncaster on return in March but 4 lesser runs have followed. Only 1 lb above the mark he defied at Doncaster but a leap of faith is needed.

What the class read says

Ran competitively despite going/trip that didn't suit it, at this same level — those runs look worse on paper than they were. Back in its own suited conditions today.
