Three weeks ago, over the same distance, the horse performed well, taking an early lead and maintaining a strong pace to finish third, beaten by half a length – a narrow defeat showcasing a high level of ability. This time with a one-pound weight reduction, the draw isn’t ideal, but despite this it has previously won twice at this distance; the competition within its group is relatively even. A good barrier draw allows for potential early positioning. The jockey understands the horse's temperament well, and trainer-jockey relationship remains solid, with no apparent changes in strategy.
