Commentary

Winning pointer who again showed promise under a very patient ride when sixth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Tramore (2½m, good). Too free to build on that at Wexford last time and more testing conditions something of an unknown.

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 15th of 23. Recent form is easing off.
