QUANTUM PATCH

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed well despite a slow start, settling towards the back before making a move in the middle stages and chasing Last Kingdom. He finished sixth, beaten three and a half lengths. Now stepping up to race again, he will carry an additional 16 pounds this time. Having proven form over this distance and with good timing within his group, drawing a favorable barrier, he demonstrates a higher level of ability compared to other contenders. While expected to run from behind, his finishing kick may not be as strong as the opposition, making his chances uncertain and requiring him to work hard for a placing.
