Commentary

Runner-up on handicap debut at Clonmel last season but has gone the wrong way since, including when making no impact on chasing bow last time. Wears first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap. Hard to recommend on form but shrewdness of connections suggests a market check will be necessary.

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 14. Recent form is easing off.
