had optimum conditions, building an excellent record at this track (only defeat here came on debut, 3 from 3 since), and proved better than ever to run down a progressive 3-y-o; missed the break but rider didn't panic and travelled well in rear, made good progress out wide 2f out, stayed on to lead close home, suited by the way the race developed; everything was in his favour here, so this performance is perhaps close to his limit, but he's been consistent all year and is likely to continue in form.

lost his unbeaten record but it was another cracking effort after 6 lb rise in the weights and he's a most progressive sort; waited with, travelled strongly, smooth headway out wide from 2f out, quickened to lead inside final 1f, idled slightly (possibly still a little green) and was collared close home; remains open to improvement and will continue to be of interest, the potential there for him to make up into a listed/minor pattern performer, but before that there could be a valuable handicap in him.
