Commentary

Good strike rate for Suzy Smith and fine start for new yard, successful at Fontwell (19.5f) prior to raising his game a bit more in line with rise in class when scoring at Plumpton (2½m, good) 12 days ago. Return to further unlikely to pose an issue and possibilities under 5-lb penalty.

What the class read says

Stepping up in grade without clear higher-class evidence yet. Not automatically a negative, especially for a lightly-raced or progressive type. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.
