Commentary

Placed once in 3 bumpers for Philip Fenton. Changed hands for £105,000 but never figured on yard/hurdling debut in Grade 2 at Kempton in February but made a much bigger impact when second of 13 in maiden at Perth (2m, soft) a few months later. First-time hood applied and considered on return.

What the class read says

Dropping in class from recent starts. Whether that's a positive depends on intent — worth checking the yard's record placing horses down in grade.

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

Dropping 3 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 13. Recent form is easing off.
