Commentary

Strong traveller who has settled better of late and it has resulted in a pair of C&D wins, produced to lead close home 3 weeks ago. Up further 7 lb but remains one to be very positive about.

What the class read says

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