Keeping faith with class and achieving consistent results? (4,2,4)

I believe the answer is:

true to form

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'achieving consistent results?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'keeping faith with class' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'class' could be 'form' (synonyms) and 'form' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'trueto' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for true to form that I've seen is " As expected, typical".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
