Commentary

Offered something to work on at big odds when 5¾ lengths third of 7 on debut at Kempton (7f), though could only run to a similar level when fifth of 6 in maiden at Newcastle 24 days later.

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 6th of 11. Recent form is easing off.
