Commentary

Rare horse to improve since leaving Dan Skelton. Useful winner of back-to-back 2m Kempton handicaps for present yard last winter. Sights lowered when making an impressive winning reappearance at Sedgefield latest (again under this good-value claimer). Now back up in grade off a career-high mark.

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 16.
