Commentary

Tongue tie worked the oracle when doubling tally at Chelmsford (6f) a year ago. Sound in-frame efforts on 3 of 4 starts in 2026 and he's since left Hamad Al Jehani. Stall 11 could have been better.

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.
