Commentary

Opened account for the season with a comfortable success at Down Royal last month and followed up in Roscommon handicap earlier this month. Far from disgraced at Leopardstown since but may be in handicapper's grip now.

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 4th of 9. Recent form is on the up.
