Commentary

Opened account in handicap at Limerick (19f, heavy) in April, form working out well. Shaped as if still in good heart sent chasing when fourth of 12 in handicap at Tramore (2¾m) 4 days later. Possibly best in testing conditions but he's one to note back hurdling.

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 5th of 17. Recent form is easing off.
