Commentary

Off the mark in hurdle at Wexford last August. Plenty of creditable placed efforts in defeat since (including over fences) but latest Ballinrobe hurdle ninth wasn't one of them.

What the projection says

Edging ahead of its price lately — not a standalone signal; it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 8th of 13. Recent form is easing off.
