Commentary

Smart winner at Royal Ascot in 2024. Had a disappointing 2025 but right back on song when resuming winning ways at Newbury (1¼m) in May. Bettered that when second of 22 to Raammee in John Smith's Cup at York in July. Respectable fifth in French Group 3 since.

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 8th of 27. Recent form is on the up.
