Commentary

Dual bumper winner who put his experience to good use to get off the mark over hurdles at Killarney (2m) in August. Found life tougher when third of 6 in Grade 3 company latest but very much the one to beat back in calmer waters.

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.

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