Comment: Has taken a step forward the last twice; behind Nineteenfourtyfive over 1m½f here (allowance race) when beaten 22l (eighth of ten) last month; this demands more than last time so he can be taken on.

Comment: Finished last of six in a Grade 3 (Monmouth Park, sloppy track) last month; has scored over C&D; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2023); down in class this time but one to tread carefully with.

Comment: Opened account at the fourth time of asking when dropped in distance six weeks ago at Churchill Downs in a maiden claimer; unlikely to make any impact as step up from maiden claiming company could prove tougher.
