Commentary

Wexford maiden hurdle winner for Joseph O'Brien last summer. Matched that form/left behind a lacklustre effort when off the mark for current yard in novice chase at Cork last time. Potentially well treated back in a handicap if he can replicate that form.

What the projection says

Edging ahead of its price lately — not a standalone signal; it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 5th of 9.
