Commentary

No match for Welbury here in August. Ended long losing run in a handicap at Carlisle prior to a valiant third in a similar event at Ayr (1m, soft) last time. Probably falls short back up in grade.

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.
