Commentary

Wootton Bassett colt who left debut behind to win a 7f York maiden 10 weeks later. Took another step forward when 1¾ lengths third of 8 to Fuel The Jet in Group 3 Somerville Tattersall over C&D (good to firm) since. Open to further improvement.

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 12th of 15. Recent form is easing off.
