Commentary

Fair winner over 11.5f on the Flat who proved much more focused with cheekpieces enlisted (retained) when making second hurdles start a winning one over C&D 5 weeks ago, clear before 2 out and allowed to be eased down. Big player in bid to follow up under a penalty.

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 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
