Commentary

Won Ulster National at Downpatrick (extended 3½m) in March but followed that with 2 poor efforts. Potentially well treated back over hurdles on the back of a 5-month break, but yard is going through a relatively quiet spell and the market will likely prove most informative.

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.
