Commentary

Sole win came back in 2023 but has made the frame 3 times this season. Couldn't extend his run of decent form when seventh of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good, 8/1) 19 days ago and others make more appeal for win purposes.

What the class read says

Class levels are broadly matched — recent runs give an even picture at this grade. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

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

What the projection says

Edging ahead of its price lately — not a standalone signal; it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 10th of 14.
