Commentary

Steadily improving when fair fourth behind a couple of next-time-out winners in a Kilbeggan maiden in April. Better than he showed on his end-of-season handicap debut at Downpatrick and could hit the frame if back on song.

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 5th of 16. Recent form is easing off.
