Commentary

Proved as good as ever this year with back-to-back wins at Beverley and Ayr. However, after 9 weeks off he ran poorly in his hat-trick bid when well held at Hamilton in August. Bounce back called for returned to all-weather (dual C&D winner).

What the class read says

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