Commentary

Improved with each run, getting off the mark switched to nurseries in 8-runner event at the Curragh in August and then twice second at Navan (6f), edged out in first-time cheekpieces last time. Stronger headgear on now and one to consider.

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 2nd of 7.
