Commentary

Resumed winning ways at Kempton (11f) in July. Back in good form of late, finishing a close fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (1½m, all-weather) 4 weeks ago. No forlorn hope eased 2 lb here.

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.
