Commentary

Improved when off the mark under Rules at Newton Abbot in August. Should probably have followed up back there following month (held back by a couple of significant errors) and might have found latest run coming too soon. Headgear can help with his jumping and probably still ahead of his mark.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
