Commentary

Lightly-raced 4-y-o. Hasn't progressed since his breakthrough success in a weak race at Stratford (2¾m). First-time cheekpieces added and has work to do from out of the handicap, even with yard's amateur claiming 7 lb.

Edging ahead of its price lately — not a standalone signal; it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 4th of 7. Recent form is easing off.
