Commentary

Dual C&D winner last year. Winless this time around but has found only one too good on 2 occasions, including when chasing home Dunum in a valuable 7f handicap at Galway in August. Still 6 lb above last successful mark but any rain will be firmly in his favour.

What the projection says

Finishes ahead of its price historically, but the delivery record alone does not predict today's finish — it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 1st of 10. Recent form is on the up.
