Commentary

Had looked very limited in Ireland but proved a different proposition on his debut for a very good yard after 3 months off when landing a gamble with a bit up his sleeve at Hexham 3 weeks ago. Looks capable of defying a 6 lb rise with yard continuing in excellent heart.

What the class read says

Stepping up in grade without clear higher-class evidence yet. Not automatically a negative, especially for a lightly-raced or progressive type. Its finishes have been edging past what its mark implies.

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 4. Recent form is on the up.
