Commentary

Fairly useful winner on the Flat prior to capitalising on a lenient hurdle mark in smooth style at Perth last month. Matched that with 7¼-length fourth behind Un Sens A La Vie in competitive Market Rasen handicap (also ran well on Flat since). Interesting with sights lowered back over hurdles.

What the projection says

Edging ahead of its price lately — not a standalone signal; it only counts alongside a short-priced top pick. Projected 3rd of 11. Recent form is easing off.
