Commentary

Useful sprinter at best and comes here not only having won the last 2 renewals of this contest, but also having bounced back to land a gamble in the Ayr Bronze Cup just last week. A 5 lb rise leaves him on the same mark he defied in this contest last year (good going) and he looks sure to go well.

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.

What the projection says

Finishes ahead of its price historically, but the delivery record alone does not predict today's finish — it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 3rd of 12. Recent form is easing off.
