Commentary

Cemented a solid start for this yard when off the mark for 2026 at Doncaster in June (7f). Runner-up 3 times since and possible to excuse last 2 lesser runs but he could do with cutting out the tardy starts.

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