Commentary

Very lightly-raced 6-y-o who got off the mark in maiden at Roscommon in July 2024. Low-key reappearance at the Curragh in March and was never involved having been off a further 5 months off at former course 4 weeks ago. First-time tongue tie on.

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 11th of 17.
