Projection has been on a steady climb up the ratings since finishing third at Royal Ascot last year, but he can confirm his black-type status with victory in the Listed feature at Windsor.
The Weatherbys Hamilton Leisure Stakes looks an excellent opportunity for Roger Charlton's five-year-old, after he fell just short in Group Three company on his initial outing this season.
Brando and Sir Dancealot finished in front of him at Newmarket that day and have since franked the form by claiming minor honours behind sprint sensation Harry Angel at York, underlining the value of Projection's effort.
He tried to do it the hard way and will doubtless make a bit of progress for the outing, while the quicker ground would certainly appear to be a factor in his favour, too.
If The Tin Man turns up at his very best he will take all the beating, but Projection can make his race fitness tell.
Alwaysandforever starts life in the handicap sphere on what appears to be a very workable mark of 87 for Luca Cumani.
She finished third in a novice heat at Wetherby on her return, but her most notable piece of form came when running Coronet to half a length back in 2016.
Clearly she is not of that calibre, although she should be good enough in the Green Parlour Fillies' Handicap.
Making Miracles has hit the bar twice already this term and can gain compensation in the Sharnford Tractors Handicap at Leicester.
