Four weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well, taking an early lead and showing good acceleration in the middle stages before finishing second, beaten half a length. For this race, it carries only a 2lb rise in weight. Having previously won twice at this distance, it possesses the fastest time within its group, is capable of leading, and the jockey has some familiarity with the horse's ability; trainer and jockey have mutual trust and the horse has shown signs of returning to form. Even with a potentially weak finishing kick, a clean break and commitment to lead should see it secure a forward position.
