Commentary

Having a good year and narrowly beat Thunderous Love over C&D in July (sure to be closely matched again here) before finishing second of 9 at Newcastle on all-weather 12 days ago. Hard to rule out in current heart.

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