Commentary

Bounced back to form to score at Bath in May but below that level the last twice, most recently at Kempton (6f) 4 weeks ago. Now just 1 lb above his last winning mark but needs to show more before becoming of interest.

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 7th of 10. Recent form is on the up.
