Commentary

Lightly-raced maiden who has shaped well since the switch to handicaps. Arguably an unlucky loser when runner-up in big-field handicap at Clonmel (17f) 8 days ago. Step back up in trip looks sure to suit and may well open his account with Danny Mullins back aboard.

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 1st of 20. Recent form is on the up.
