Commentary

Made the perfect start for Max Comley when capitalising on a much-reduced mark over hurdles at Exeter (23f) in December. More miss than hit subsequently, though got back on track reverted to chasing with the aid of a soft lead when second of 6 in 3¼m handicap at Newton Abbot last month.

What the projection says

Edging ahead of its price lately — not a standalone signal; it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 5th of 7. Recent form is on the up.
