Commentary

Sole win came in 2024 but he arrives in very good nick, second of 9 to Shes Got The Blues in handicap here (1m, good) last time when making his effort earlier than ideal. Very much one to consider nudged up 1 lb.

Edging ahead of its price lately — not a standalone signal; it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 7th of 12. Recent form is on the up.
