Commentary

Capitalised on a falling mark when scoring at Pontefract (1m) in June. Not disgraced in refitted cheekpieces (retained) when fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (1m, soft) 11 days ago. This C&D scorer is no forlorn hope.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. 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.
