Showed plenty in Punchestown maidens a year apart, landing the odds in a tongue strap 2 weeks ago. This much harder but he remains with potential.

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 10th of 12. Recent form is easing off.
