Two weeks ago over the same distance, despite finishing in the top three, this horse jumped slowly and settled towards the rear, maintaining a steady pace but lacking strong momentum. He finished third, beaten two lengths. This time he carries only a 2lb increase in weight, faces favorable competition within his group, and draws a good barrier. Likely to be held up in the early stages, he possesses a decent finishing kick and appears in good form. The jockey understands the horse's capabilities, and trainer and jockey share similar racing philosophies, making him a contender for an upset victory.
