Commentary

Progressive 3-y-o. Shaped encouragingly on hat-trick bid/return (following a breathing operation) when fairly useful third in a solid Newmarket handicap (1½m) latest. Interesting hurdling debutant for connections who won 2024 renewal with very similar type in Liam Swagger.

What the class read says

Stepping up in class, but the evidence backs it — has run against higher-rated rivals and held its own. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.
