Commentary

Smart gelding at his best for John Joseph Murphy in 2025. Gelded and had a breathing operation before returning from 11 months off with an encouraging third of 8 in listed race at Windsor (11.5f, good to soft) in August. That form has been franked and he holds very good claims.

What the class read says

The stable looks to have run this horse in stronger races to keep its official rating low — today's class drop may be intentional. Worth watching at a price.

Finished in the top 3 in 2 of 5 stronger races — strong class form.

Dropping 1 class level from its toughest race — well-positioned today.
