Commentary

A dual bumper/hurdles winner for Nicky Richards who went close to making a winning chase debut at Hexham (2½m) in October last year. However, turned in a lacklustre display on first outing for current yard at that venue in May and has shown just fair form on the Flat subsequently.

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.

Dropping 3 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.

What the projection says

Finishes ahead of its price historically, but the delivery record alone does not predict today's finish — it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 2nd of 2. Recent form is on the up.
