Commentary

Head-strong sort. Has stood little racing since his useful days on the Flat in 2024. Bombed out twice for Willie Mullins (including on hurdle debut in the Triumph) last year and was well beaten in first-time tongue strap here (2¾m) on return/stable debut. Plenty to prove.

What the class read says

The stable looks to have run this horse in stronger races to keep its official rating low — today's class drop may be intentional. Worth watching at a price. Crucially, it keeps finishing ahead of what its handicap mark implies — it looks ahead of the handicapper.

Finished in the top 3 in 2 of 5 stronger races — strong class form.

Dropping 4 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.

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 7th of 7.
