Commentary

Scopey €900,000 Wootton Bassett colt who shaped well when behind the subsequent Acomb winner Haffner on debut. Turned over at 2/11 next start, but made no mistake at Kempton (1m) last month. However, proved too free when fourth of 6 on nursery debut at Doncaster (1m, good) earlier in the month.

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.
