Commentary

Maiden hurdler but again shaped better than the bare result when fifth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Navan (21f, good to soft) 13 days ago, doing too much too soon. Not one to write off. RESERVE

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 5th of 23. Recent form is on the up.
