Commentary

Remains steadily progressive and got off the mark for the year at Killarney last month. Beaten only by a smart prospect in the Irish Cambridgeshire the following week and produced another solid effort off 10 lb higher at the Curragh. Worth a shot at this level.

What the class read says

Stepping up in grade without clear higher-class evidence yet. Not automatically a negative, especially for a lightly-raced or progressive type. Its recent finishes fall short of what its mark implies — the rating may flatter it.

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 12th of 12. Recent form is easing off.
