Commentary

Successful off a 4 lb higher mark in 2024 renewal of this race. Wasn't far off that form when well-backed winner at Ayr in July, but he hasn't backed that up in 2 starts since. Jockey booking offers hope of a bounce back.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
