Commentary

Dual bumper winner. Enjoyed an excellent first season over hurdles and went 3-5 on his handicap debut in 7-runner event at Haydock (2m, good to soft) 6 months ago. Since had a breathing operation and rates an interesting debutant over fences.

What the class read says

Ran competitively despite going/trip that didn't suit it, at this same level — those runs look worse on paper than they were. Back in its own suited conditions today.

Dropping 2 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
