Has won at A7 and A9 in his last two starts, which represents exactly the kind of upward trajectory you want to back. His most recent A7 victory produced a performance figure of 62 — comfortably the best single-race effort from any dog in this field — and his composite score of 46 tops the ratings. He has decent suitability for the track and distance from his lower-grade runs at Hove, and his closing style should keep him out of early trouble. The rail draw is not ideal for a closer at Hove, but it is workable if the pace is genuine. The critical unknown is the class step — he has never raced at A6 before and his class suitability reads zero. That is a real gap in his credentials. But the form trajectory is powerful, and dogs who win successive races while rising in grade are often better than their current level suggests. The tentative tag reflects the untested class rather than any doubt about his ability.
