Commentary

Improved markedly from his hurdling debut when successful in a Tramore maiden in April. Disappointed next time (final start for Henry de Bromhead) but got back on track on chase bow when third at Galway for Mark Edmund McCrory. More needed back with former yard.

What the projection says

Edging ahead of its price lately — not a standalone signal; it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 2nd of 7.
