Commentary

Fourth of 9 over C&D in July before rattling up a quick hat-trick, still looking in rude health when sharing a dead-heat of 7 at Brighton 38 days ago. Now faces a 5 lb higher mark so may prove vulnerable.

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.

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

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 1st of 14. Recent form is easing off.
