Commentary

Has 2 C&D wins to name with the last coming in January. Hasn't been in top form since but there was a lot more to like over inadequate 5f last time and he's well worth considering back up to 6f and down in 0-55 company.

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 12. Recent form is on the up.
