Commentary

Beat a subsequent bumper/maiden hurdle winner when successful in pair of bumpers for Mark Fahey. Changed hands for £100,000 and disappointing (albeit highly tried) in listed/Grade 2 bumpers for new connections last season. Still a very interesting hurdling debutant in the context of a thin race.

What the class read says

Has campaigned at a higher grade and now drops into weaker company. Dropping in class here looks deliberate, not a concession.

Ran mid-division in 1 of 2 higher-class runs.

Dropping 4 class levels from its toughest race — well-positioned today.

What the projection says

Beating its price historically confirms the short-priced top pick — model and market read it the same way. Projected 1st of 9. Recent form is easing off.
