Commentary

Winning chaser who got off the mark over hurdles in handicap at Punchestown in April. Followed that with pair of solid placed efforts but shaped as if amiss at Killarney in July and fared no better back over fences when last seen. Needs to bounce back but claims if doing so.

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 8th of 13. Recent form is easing off.
