Two weeks ago, over the same distance, this horse performed impressively, jumping moderately and settling towards the back before accelerating strongly in the final two sections. This time with a 2lb weight reduction, competing at a similar pace, and drawing a good barrier, it is expected to be held up in the run with a powerful finishing kick – arguably the strongest among its rivals. The horse appears in excellent form and based on overall ability, is considered the leading contender in this race; definitely one to watch.
