GOLDEN RISE

Three weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed respectably. He jumped slowly and settled towards the back, but finished strongly to secure third place, beaten by half a length. For this race, he carries only a 2lb penalty. While having previous form over this distance and comparable times within his group, coupled with a favorable barrier draw and good trainer-jockey synergy, his late speed may not match rivals, making his chances moderate; hoping to finish near the front.
