Commentary

Posted some good efforts in defeat in strong York handicaps this season before producing a career-best to win a 12-runner Doncaster handicap (1¼m, good) a fortnight ago. A very smart performance will be needed under a 4-lb penalty but his yard's recent record in this makes him hard to discount.

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 27. Recent form is on the up.
