Commentary

Good-looking sort from useful family. Strong at the finish when opening his account in a Bath novice (1¼m) last month, looking better the further he went. Looked an interesting handicap debutant upped in trip but ran too badly to be true at Salisbury 4 weeks ago. Worth another chance.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. A caution, though: it has NOT been beating its handicap mark — the favourable class picture isn't yet backed by mark-adjusted finishes.

What the projection says

Has been finishing below what its price implied — the odds have flattered it. Projected 5th of 6. Recent form is easing off.
