Commentary

A 2-time 6f scorer in 2025 (including over C&D). Yet to add to that this season but he's holding his form well, though did dip a little bit below his recent levels at Newmarket last time. Fancied to quickly bounce back now 2 lb below his last winning mark.

What the class read says

Ran competitively despite going/trip that didn't suit it, at this same level — those runs look worse on paper than they were. Back in its own suited conditions today. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

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