Commentary

Likely campaigned with handicaps in mind when well held in maiden hurdles in 2024/5 season. Landed fairly useful double at Newmarket (1½m) this summer before seemingly going off the boil. Should stay this far on belated return to hurdling and opening mark attractive in the context of his Flat form.

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.
