Commentary

No better than mid-field in 4 starts for M. C. Grassick last year, but stepped forward from his debut for this stable when sixth of 14 in handicap at Clonmel (1¼m) 15 days ago. Task is now to build on that effort back up in trip.

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 13. Recent form is on the up.
